Sorry to hear, that's terrible.

Good news.
Picked up a new block and some Ross pistons.
Started to pick apart the harness and see what all needs to be replaced, so far looks like the brake resivoir, knock sensor, speed sensor, injector resistor box, starter signal wire, blue black and brown plugs for timing ground and fuel pump test, and the ground on the intake manifold
Crank looks good and the head looks good.
Going to find some I-beam or x-beam rods, get the block assembled again and bring it in for a tune!

Sorry to hear, that sucks super bad! Get it back together! Nice setup too. Good luck.

Little update.. Got the harness all done, just need to route it and put some wire loom on.
Got my new rods, went with the I-beams that Howard's Rods provides for MAP. Went with these as there is a pretty significant weight decrease over the turbo tuff I-beams I was debating between.
Can't wait to get back to boosting. Once the block is done and in the car I am hoping to put it on the dyno and have Shane work his magic. Really wanting to finish in time for proving grounds.

Update: Haven't had much motivation the last couple weeks to get anything done. Car is most likely going to sit for the winter as of now.
Plans are..
Finish the block.. Still not sure on pistons.
Swap 1050's for 2150's or around there
Get rid of the single 255 and put in 2 Walbro 450's in a full blown dual pump in-tank setup.
Build a catch can and new coolant resivoir.
Repaint the firewall (fix fire damage)
New front suspension (control arms, knuckles, ex..)
