I think this was caused by my timing way to far advance cause i am a dumb *****

Not a problem at all, just run some seafoam through it, that's what everyone seems to think fixes all engine problems.

Were there more than just the one piston in the pan?

Gee, I'm really happy to hear that. I just bought a can this evening and have yet to use it.

Follow up the SeaFoam with MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil) and you;'ll be good as new.

Nothing a can of Engine RESTORE can't fix!:facepalm:

Compression will be good as new!

Remove one from the other side so the engine maintains balance if it was a 350, and if it was just think of the fuel saving benefits because you will now have a 4.3L

Good thing you got the piston out of the pan....it could have blocked the oil pickup and did some real damage!

Re: should i be concerned

Ok I got the sea foam the mmo the jb weld and engine restore non of these awesome products helped. In all seriousness will the 3.0 run 180 out enough that i can get to motor down the lake but pinging like hell. I know i should have stopped as soon as the pinging started but i didnt. I expected more power had to get my 20 yr old son to sit in the bow of the boat to get on plane. It is a 17 ft run about thought a fresh new motor should be stronger than that. Just trying to get an idea what i screwed up so i dont repeat this mishap
