    That looks just like my friends race motor after700hp hit of nitrous !!!


    Did the rods that let go show any signs of excessive heat ( discoloration) just above the crank journal ??? . That would be a dead giveaway for loss of oil pressure to those bearings

    I'll add if the OP can show close up of the rods just above the crank journal for heat discoloration

    Need to go back to the head picture and get one without a glare. Does there appear to be any gasket imprint breach around the center cylinders? Maybe at 3 o'clock on bottom picture?
