Okaaayy...now this is weird!
A to B DD car. The less you spend on the DD, the more you can spend on your build. I picked up a 1990 Nissan Sentra coupe for $600 last October and it still runs like a champ. $28 in gas every 7-8 days of commuting 45 miles/day.
If your car help rotate the earth, what are we going to do now? You better build your motor quick!

That's for all those people you say the Vortech is weak...lol.
hmmm..I had this similar problem, GT-ER. It started off with ticking.. I got lucky and I was able to spot the problem and the ticking went away.
What happened was that my crank pulley came loose, slightly. making the ticking noises. It took me for ever to figure it out.. when the ticking was happening somehow my eye caught the crank pulley, it was wiggling. I jacked the car up tighten that HUGE bolt ( ud think it would never come loose, your wrong ) and everything went away.
You may have had the same problem I did and just didnt see it and then this happened ( which I could totally see )
Not much you can do now though.. you have an excuse to built it lol.

Or is it more likely the other way around - engine grenades taking out crank and pulley with it?
Either way it sucks... even if the block is salvageable the crank is not and that is very expensive.
This all sucks. I know that a lot of companies want a core with a good crank, so depending on the damage, you may or may not have one. The pulley rocking around could have thrown off the harmonics of the engine too doing a lot more damage than you think. Hopefully not, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you man!
Yup, throw that bish in the ditch. Not worth anything. Too bad you kept beating on it when it was making noises. You shoulda at least been taping everytime you drove. Woulda made for some classic youtube

Damn, that is some hellacious damage. Good luck with the build! Even with shipping being as expensive as it is on a block it might be the cheaper way to go in the long run when you compare any labor and or machine work that needs to be done with a motor build.
not really hindsight. everyone told you to stop beating on your car and get it properly diagnosed since 10-18-10 when you made this thread https://my350z.com/forum/forced-indu...i-related.html until you blew it on 10-21-10
