The shop is up near me, S+S Speed ( Near Benton PA ). Bob Strunk use to race, now both his sons race and work at the shop. Bob worked for Joe Amato building his engines and was super nice to talk with and did explain allot about remachining.
I told him I had another virgin block so if anything didn't look 100% right I'd drop that one off and he could start from scratch.
I'm just glad to hear that everything isn't wasted. I wasn't sure if anything like excess heat or something could have damaged my rods, or even if the rods somehow contributed to the failure? Scraping the block is one thing, scraping the block and near $3,000 worth of rotating assembly - ouch!

Sounds like your in the right kind of shop - and they will mag the rods for cracks and on a rod machine they will be able to tell if the big and small ends are out of round as well as being in alignment with each other - we usually grind the caps than re size rods with an up grade bolt - you can have them crioed ( frozen ) if your iffy about them, and crank cutting and re nitrite might be in order - good luck i am sure the shop will do the right thing -- jz
