Re: If you like destruction -
Well it's out, but I didn't tear into it. All the valve stems are still in the retainers, I gave it a look since I had to pull the valve covers to get enough clearance to clear the firewall recess. I peeked inside and it looks like the cam and lifters are intact. Distributor gear looked good too. When I drained the oil, close to a gallon of coolant came out first. I didn't see any metal in the oil, and no chunks of anything in the screen on my drain pan.
I found a couple other issues along the way that need to be addressed also. The 'nice' Derale fans have started cracking around the edge of the bracing that holds the fan to the shroud. I've pretty much reached the consensus that Derale stuff is JUNK. The relay I got with the fans was dead out of the box, now this. I'm a little pissed, since now I have to take the fans and shroud apart and all this stuff has been painted, just one more thing to deal with. The temp probe in the radiator was also broken too. No wonder the fans weren't turning on/off like they should've. I'm trying to post pics, but I keep getting the 'missing security token' prompt on both my PC & phone.

Re: If you like destruction -
You need Chucky Cheese tokens. They work just fine, or you could just resize the huge pics on your phone.
As far as your engine, sorry for your loss. My engine is still down. it need heads after being rebuilt by the "the best guy in the state." Um, maybe not. #2 exhaust valve roached all the way to the rocker, rocker tip roached, all seal damaged or gone. I should have just bought new.
