Aftermath of what the old engine looks like and how horrendous the damage dealt is.

Lower oil pan is a soup full of scrap metal & a valve LOL.

I also was recommended to purchase a brand new OEM timing chain kit, so I did -- Mechanic said with this high profile of a build he recommended a brand new timing chain kit since he has seem them fail in other Zs before.

I also had to buy a brand new OEM Gasket Kit for the manifolds and such.
