Engine gone bang !

Not happy. Engine decided to let go on me - pulling out of a junction in 1st gear and then suddenly it sounded like a machine gun going off inside.

Turns out to be a broken piston. Not sure how the rod and crank are but I wondered how much I can have the 400ci block overbored.
It is currently +.040" so I think that's it - either liners or new block for me.

What do you all think?
