Hopefully head survived and Reza's (chiefs special evo1 trans) is repairable.

When engine blew, it sounded like a metal grinder for a few seconds...and than all lights came on the dashboard....and i was gliding in complete silence with clouds of smoke visible in rear-view mirror.
Luckily drivetrain didn't lock up and I managed to cost of the highway quietly and peacefully. Thankfully no flames, i was outside ready to battle it with fire extinguisher in hand, there was still lots of smoke everywhere (even coming into the cabin from air vents) but luckily no flames!

^When "metallic debris" rained down south into the oil pan, they pushed my transfercase down and cracked trans bellhousing.
There is hole on the block facing the firewall, that's where oil and coolant came out from.
I'm sure there will be more damages once engine comes out from the bay but that is not going to happen until after the move to a new place.
