more broken parts pix
got it all torn down. Was pretty easy, most of the stuff fell out. Already bought a short block. The crank did not break and the bottom of the block is ok. Guess that RJC girdle works.

Massive! Try Lowes & Home Depot for the Contractor size J-B Weld.
Can you re-use the girdle or is it toast too?
