When I bought the Aspen R/T, it came with the numbers 360 engine. Owner said it had a knock, so they pulled it and built a 70 340 engine.
I was hoping it was something stupid making the knocking sound, like loose converter bolts, etc. Not so lucky!
Rod bearing shells from #1 and #2...

#1 was spun badly. #2 was spun but was disintegrated.
Time for a fresh crank, bearings and resizing some rods at a minimum.
