vortech/engine question

What are the chances of my engine being screwed up if some metal shavings got in? I don't think they did but there is a possibility since my blower crapped out.
What should I do before I start my car again? Change oil, run trans fluid through engine, change oil again after 1k miles?

Change oil and possibly get a magnetic oil plug, someone on the forum has used it and I'm going to use one when my shortblock is complete even though it's blueprinted!
