Time for new engine in 72 Swinger - What Would You Do?

360 stroker went boom

those cost a tad more than a regular 360 rebuild...

i'd get it to a machine shop and see if the crank is ok, etc.

how many miles were on the engine?

p.s. i wouldnt call it "Murphy's Law" i'd call it karma... after comparing these two statements:
" I had been planning to put it up for sale "
" Threw a rod over the weekend, engine is a goner.:banghead: (yep, coolant and oil are mixed, the whole 9 yards). "
