I would stick a set of rods and pistons in it, Key the crank and cam and oil pump,once you get the motor out to see what all went bad see what work needs done to the block.
Help: lbz cracked piston?

Stock tuning, maybe. There have still been cases even then. Certainly running a tune that will get you to a 12.90 is on the risky end of the spectrum. ( Not hatin' , I'm doing the same )
Aside from needing pistons, how much other damage is normally done from the cracked slug?
The biggest concern with a cracked slug is scratching/scoring the cylinder wall.
I have a set of 8 standard LBZ pistons if mine go, but I'm worried about scoring the wall and having to overbore.
Those that have cracked a piston in an LBZ, what kind of damage was done to the wall (able to be honed out or did you have to bore)? If you had to bore, how much?
I cracked mine in my lly and was able to hone with no problem. Coasted for about a mile to the house after it happened. Was very lucky. How long did you run it for after it went?
What do performance shops charge to replace pistons? Of course you might as well do rods while you have it apart.
On what? lol. I was just looking for a rough estimate. I really have no idea but it seems having someone pull the motor, build it, and then putting it back in would be very pricey!
Have u seen the piston yet?? I know on mine it had a nice little hole about 6 o;clock, an the crack started thier, I was doing some bad stuff when I melted mine, I'm a bad boy. LOL
