I kinda know how your piston looks w/o seeing it.
If you look at the last picture of parts on the paper tower left to right it it, Piston, pushrods, lifters, cam and pieces of the block.

That is a bummer of the first magnitude. Glad it didn't wind up worse , but in spite of confining the damage to inside the motor , that is plenty ugly. Ouch !

Could a broken valve spring cause that chain of events to begin?
The springs (Comp) and retainer (Comp tool steel?) both look fine, Need to check the pressure on it. So far found I have found 1 of the 2 keepers, other is probably in the bottom of the pan or something, I haven't spent too much time looking around.
At this point I think the entire short block is a write off. The crank was already 10/10 so I doubt it will clean up. I don't remember what series valve it was off the top of my head, it wasn't top tier but it wasn't bottom shelf either. I don't think the valve is to blame, but I could be wrong. I had a ton of P to V clearance.
I'm pretty sure the head can be fixed/saved, but wont know for sure until I take it off. At this point I'm thinking about switching to a big block or maybe 3G Hemi. If anybody has anything feel free to PM me.
I'm wearing all black today...

Is the stem straight? What was the open pressure of the springs?

Did it turn a bearing and cause the rod to break or break a rod bolt? Could be something else but most times that's what happens.
