Charmalu was doing 70 when his broke. It bent the camshaft, broke the front cam towers off the head, destroyed several valves and pistons, and managed to put a crack in the block. He showed me pictures. They were pretty sick.

Since this one was supposedly going slower when the failure occurred, there may be less damage. If you're looking for a project engine build for fun or to have a spare for later, you might try this one, but I wouldn't pay very much for it. Maybe a hundred bucks, probably less.
