Car fucked up on me today, datalogged the whole thing and it was doing great then boom, knock, knock, knock, SHIT, cut it off coast to a stop. Tow it home, go to work, come home from work, pull oil pan, yay number 1 rod bearing is all sitting in the bottom of the pan. Crank is scored to hell. With that being said, does any one use "cut" cranks or would it be better to get a new one? Also does eagle sell just single rods?

Yes, you can single Eagle Rods.
If I were you, I would have the crank machined and use oversized rod bearings. When I bought a new crank from the dealer 2 years ago, my cost was $875 and that was a discount since I work for a GM dealership.
