A little carnage for you!

[Clelan]

I got this engine given to me a couple years ago. It was locked up tight and I saw some damage where something had come out the side of the pan! I decided to have a look and this is what I found. Remember this was a van motor that blew up on the highway supposedly.

And maybe this is what caused it! Notice no hex on the shaft!

Looks like the block might make it.

I have seen a few 360s like that. Kim

I kinda think the block will be ok. That crank might buff out too lol!

That crankshaft journal does not look oil starved, just really hammered or beat up. My guess is something broke and debris got into the oil pump, then the tip broke off the intermediate shaft because the camshaft was still twisting it.
Can you take apart the oil pump? I know it doesn't matter, but I am intrigued.

Cley, if you need a crank I have cranks. I only have fords and chevs that look like THAT!

I guess you'll just have to buy a 408 assembly for it.....

NICE looks like some one was racing with 90wt gear oil

Its pretty gross all around in there. When I have time I'll pull it apart the rest of the way. I will save the block and If I do anything with it I'll make a stroker out of it. I have a couple engines ahead of it though. Not too sure why I even pulled it apart. Just curious I guess. I should have been cleaning and prepping the 360 I am actually building but I have a hard time staying on track!

Here's another one for you. Bone stock 318, cast crank snapped right in half. No other damage found in engine. All the bearings were good and it spun over nice.

Here's another one for you.

This must be one of the two 318 cranks ever that broke.
