I wont be able to get a look until this evening. Towed it straight to my dads garage. It looked as if it came from the front of the block, but couldnt see anything obvious last night.

Summit and Jegs do have shortblocks and longblocks for sale
Gm goodwrench motor? Easy to purchase and swap. If its nothing serious engine wise fix where the oil came out of and run it.
Got a chance to stop by my parents to take a look..Ends up one of the new (3 months old) oil cooler lines ripped apart, right where the hard line and soft lines are crimped together. So hopefully I can just fill her back up with some good oil and run it. I am obviously gonna rip those pos lines out of there and just fab my own. Should have done it in the first place rather than relying on auto zone replacements. I just really hope I didnt do any damage to any bearings or internals. It only coasted for about 8 seconds without giving it any gas, and like I said..It made no noises what so ever and didnt lock up. I am close to swapping in my cam and intake etc..I hope
Did you shut the ignition off or did the engine lock up?
I shut the engine off as soon as I coasted off the road. Was going 60 on highway with a lot of traffic. It def didnt lock up and sounded fine.
Try to turn the crankshaft using a socket and ratchet/breaker bar on the balancer bolt. If the engine will turn fairly smooth you should be OK. I would definitely put some lightweight oil in it and then drain it to see if you get any nonferrous metal out of the pan. If there is nothing major in the drained oil you should be fine. Once you finish the repairs to the hoses and put new oil in, spin the engine over with the ignition disabled until the oil pressure comes up.
