When I was a kid, some friends of mine had a 40-something Chevy car they drove around in the woods. One time they broke a piston that mostly landed in the oil pan in pieces. They stopped it before the rod and piston destroyed the block and towed it to the barn. They dropped the pan and hacksawed off the big end of the rod and took the rest of the rod and the broken piston out. They put the oil pan back on, removed the push rods from that cylinder and drove the Chevy all over that mountain for at least 2 more years. It didn't have quite as much power as an inline 5, but really didn't seem too out of balance or even sound like it was missing too bad. I think they only quit driving it because they graduated from high school. Fun times!
