I was doing a few pulls last night and my rods blew through the block
What do you guys think is it better to get a new engine or the block? Also could the valves and the head be damaged as well?

 

Damn, sorry to hear that. You would really need to tear the engine apart to find out the real damage. I'm curious though what was your setup?

its always posible that you did head damage too.
to answer that question properly i would tear the engine apart to see if there your head is untouched.

this would be a great opportunity to build a strong motor though so keep that in mind before deciding if you are just doing a full engine or just a block

 

If your head is still good, of course the cheapest way will be to just source a core EVO block (~$700 + shipping) and build that and throw your original head on it. Or you can go to the 4G64 which is around (~$400 for a running core). Either way, you should have a motor that is capable of handling more power, if that's what you want. A brand new OEM shortblock runs ~$3400 plus shipping and new OEM EVO 9 head is around $1700 plus shipping. Hopefully your head is still good! Good luck
