The rod would have gone first and took the cam out when it started flailing about. Had it happen to a 390 Fe motor ages ago. Piston turned in the bore and took the cylinder out. It sounds like a similar failure to yours.

Hard luck though. Any rattles or signs that in retrospect could have been taken as a warning?
