Well here is the bad news so far. Front exhaust manifold underside has a hole in it. 12 inch crack on block. Tried taking the head off today, back end loose the front end stuck. I have PB blaster soaking on it now with some putty knifes under the head. Using the lift tomorrow to pull the head, feels like its stuck in the middle on the front side. Took off the lifter side covers, doesn't look too bad. Hope the pistons, crank and cam are ok. Oil pan has been pushed in some.
