Bummed out

Well I've been checking out both motors. The truck motor crank is done. Machine shop said drilling it would cost more than replacing it. Forged crank and hardened bolt. The car motor crank looks ok. I think I got lucky and it only melted a piston and the head. The crank looks mint.

I think I'm going to work on option 2. I have the bad car block to use for mock up while I build the truck block. Gonna use car intake and front accessories.

I'm thinking since I'll be building it I'd like to go bigger. Would using the 6.1 crank with 6.1 rods/pistons make the 5.7 into a 6.1? I'm thinking a stock 6.1 crank with aftermarket pistons and rods.

I've been searching on lxforums but can't find much about this topic.
