4thgear to reverse damage.

If your motor turned over backwards with the kinds of forces involved, it is highly likely one or both timing chains could jump a tooth. Or broke a follower.

Caveat Emptor.... Livernois Heads (Pic heavy)

Why should Tre.. even pay for shipping? If Livernois wants their defective part's back they should ship it at their expense, re-emburse all cost back to the customer, and let him go buy a set of heads somewhere else.

possibly lost/seized the motor today

No it does not, as coolant is likely what caused the bearing failure. It is still seized.

As mentioned crank thrust is on the tight side but is within spec. Bearing failure does not introduce coolant into the oil. However coolant in the oil can and will destroy bearings. The root cause needs to be found, not just the collateral damage.

Do you have an adjustable spreader bar on your engine hoist? If you do you can surely pull the engine and trans together, adjust the angle as you are lifting and pulling it forward.

Where does this vacuum line go?

Not needed unless you're running a boost guage. Plug it off.

Problems with coolant

Pull the spark plugs and have look, it should be easy to tell which cylinder is burning it.
