Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A.....

Going back to square one sucks.
Here is hoping the rest of the damage is minimal.
Last year, after spending the winter building a weird combo turbocharged engine for my old Bimmer, I installed the engine, and got it running. The freeze plug right over the turbo was leaking. Can't pull the turbo (aftermarket manifold and turbo) without pulling the head..... well, you get the picture.

Thankfully, neither you nor anyone else was hurt. Can you imagine if this happened while going down the road?

Wish I was in your neighborhood Eric. Seriously, I would come over and help.
