I am sorry to hear this. I'd be equally bummed about this.

Thanks for all your thoughts. I will keep the group posted. Just for info...
The body and interior are pristine. Not good or great but virtually as new. Perfect dash leather everything. I have maintained a vehicle like this.
All maintenance has been done as scheduled or early. Oil, air filters every 6 to 8k, with OE oil. Never driven hard.
Just upgraded to heavy duty slotted brakes, suspension bushings new, a/c and trans serviced at 85k, new batteries, changed brakes, PS fluid, etc.
SC coupler, timing chain and coolant fittings on order
Waterpump changed about 3000 miles ago. Wondering if it could be related?
Meticulous maintenance, and not even the slightest warning until the last moment. I am just in shock. Was diligently prepping to go another 120k. Im in shock...and bummed

See avslash post abovewouldn't a failed crossover pipe cause an overheat issue before other significant failure? shouldn't the temp gauge of showed this nearly immediately?
There is a significant more amount of time between loss of coolant and block failure to the point of oil being spewed around the engine bay. OP says it was only 1/4 mile from 1st sign to complete chaos.
I seem to remember mention of a failure mode similar to this years ago.
Basically coolant line ruptures and dumps coolant, no warning on dash because coolant no longer reaching temp sensor and then block gets cooked as a result.
