The metal below the carb is former piston. Once it let go it shot metal all through the engine. It is a result of the failure not the cause of it. Check the valves and see if the guides are worn. Or if any of the valves are broken off. No space for anything that big in the combustion chamber. A greater than .500 lift cam without clearancing the piston will cause contact issues. I had a valve guide go bad and allow the valve to tip sideways just enough to contact the piston and grenade. The bent pushrod is interesting. I did that to a friends 383 Dodge one time. At 7200 rpm though. 12 sec 1/4 mile car at 3700lbs.
