So now I need a new block and heads. How does damage like this happen? It's missing a part of the block.

Went lean? Real lean? Injector fried out?!? Flexed the block? Over revved like a MF!!

I have no idea. Engine only had 25-30k miles. It never saw red line since it never made power in that range.

Find a bare block with stock machine work and do a forged 327 kit

Detonation. Only time I ever did that was with billy tucker in my black car rip, my fuel solenoid went south and only nitrous was being injected.

Ran like an animal for about 4 seconds.

Did any of the valve train break? High compression, exhaust valve not opening up causing super high compression detonation. Definitely some talent there to do all that! Seems like you got your winter project now. Sorry for the loss.

I was thinking valve train as in wiped out cam lobe or broken lifter or pushrods. What's the new setup?

Kinda like when you get a burned exhaust valve , when the compression finds a small passage way to go past it gets superheated and starts eroding the metal.. Usually(not always and i cant see them very well) with detonation you'll see pock marks on the valve faces and piston..
