The block is ruined. Apparently they ran over something, ripped the pan completely off along with the AC compressor, balancer assembly and part of the lower main cap assembly. The crank is fine along with the head and turbo. The intake was smashed along with the starter. It hit so hard it shoved the firewall back 2". The brake pedal is up under the dash now. Amazingly enough it missed the transmission and it escaped with minor damage. I would probably sell the engine as a block assembly and then as a head assembly unless you needed both. I have another turbo covertible I thought I might need spare parts for so that is why I bought it.
