Alright gentlemen, I finally got the block out, and tore down the old motor. It ended up being a piece of the plenum. I also found the knocking in the motor which was the passenger side head. It wasn't receiving oil! Grr! I have about three more parts to buy to finish putting together the new block and then I will be able to drop it in with my son. I will show you guys the pictures that I have so far and you will be amazed at how bad the internals of the old motor were. I will also post pics of the motor out. Hopefully finishing up this summer if the Military doesn't get in the way again! Sorry for the longest suspense ever!

Holy crap I just reread this whole thread and forgot I even posted. Funny thing is before I came to my post the first thing I thought based on pictures was piston ring. Then I thought the only thing metal before the intake manifold is the TB and plenum and thought theres no way something sheared off of either of those. Looks like I was still wrong.
Where in the world on the plenum did this metal shear off from?
Grats on the rebuild.

So the plenum split? Did it create a hole or was it bits of the casting seam inside that broke off?
