Throw it away and pic up a engine from a wrecker is your cheapest bet with that much damage.

Ouch to the wallet for sure.

Yeah...I've got a replacement engine. Working on switching my welded water console and gathering up parts. Going to do the GT 2 slave conversion too.

32krazy! Thanks for the offer but I won't have any of the parts by Sunday. Waiting for Goldcrest to finish welding the additional epoxied fittings. Also compiling my list of o-rings, gaskets and hoses needed. You are welcome to come by if you are in the neighborhood, but don't make a special trip!
