Help! I've just posted a "parts wanted" ad for a B20 short block assembly.

*** Please see the ad for specific requirements ***

I don't have the engine out yet, but from what I can see through the hole in the lower right front corner of the block, it would appear the connecting rod bolts let go on the #1 cylinder in my ITB 142E. The rod cap is missing, and there is no evidence whatsoever of a lubrication problem on the exposed crankshaft throw.

Damndest noise you ever heard... happened as I was leaving turn 9 at Hallett, accelerating through about 5500 rpm in 3rd gear. This was an amateur rebuild (previous owner) that only had 600-700 race miles on it when it grenaded. I am NOT a happy camper.
