The motor is coming out in the next few weeks and going to the machine shop. I will let you know what they say. Thank you for the help.

Just a theory: I wonder if one of the rods got bent, then started shaving chunks off the crankshaft thrust bearing. That would explain the metal shavings in the pan. But I'd be surprised if that happened. The stock 2.8 V6 rods should be able to handle about 250 HP. And of course, a stock or even mildly modded 2.8 V6 isn't anywhere close to that.
But I guess we'll see soon enough. Hopefully it isn't anything catastrophic.

If it has good compression, I don't see why you'd want to do more than install new bearings, which can be done in the car.

I would think you'd want to align hone it to get all the mains straight. Or you might be doing it again. And clean the oil galleys.
