Default 408 was runnin better

So I got the timing much more dialed in, not perfect, but was getting there. Pulled out, shifted into 2nd to purposly put a load on the engine to listen for pinging. Ran her up fairly slowly to 4,000 rpm and BOOM!!! Then there was quite a bit of noises after that.
The nice edelbrock water pump broke almost perfectly thru the shaft just into the water pump. Then the fan flew into the nice HOWE aluminum radiator. The only good news is that nothing is leaking fluid, but the car is waiting for the tow truck to bring it back to my house.

So now, has anyone had this happen before. After all the beatings I have given vehicles in my life, I have never broke a pump, let alone like this one. I will post pics as soon as it gets back on the tow truck.
