Crank breakers wanted

I’ll bite. Not a small block but in 2008 or thereabouts I rebuilt the 225 slant six w/forged crank in my van, after brainwashing myself on Slantsix.org posts about hopping up the slant:rolleyes: so I had the block decked to bump the compression, some head work with bigger stainless valves and light porting I did, typical long block rebuild otherwise, Erson custom cam, modified single barrel intake into a two barrel, hogged out exhaust manifold to accept 2-1/4” pipe, HEI conversion, etc etc. Was peppy, it moved somewhat impressively, sounded good through a Dynomax Super Turbo. So one night hauling *** down the interstate at about 80 or so out of the blue BANG!!! Loud as **** metal explosion of some sort, engine was still running (it was brief) but clanking like we have a major problem and then the motor went dead. This all happened under the doghouse which is right next to the driver seat. Was very loud and startling. Coasted over to the shoulder and being dark I could barely see under the doghouse lid but I could just see under the intake/exhaust manifolds on the side of the block a big *** hole and the crankshaft. Uh oh:eek: So after towing it home I grabbed a flashlight and could see the crankshaft was in two pieces! Must have been all it could take and it couldn’t take no more! Ended up scoring a remanufactured long block (from the late 80’s) that was still in the crate sitting in a warehouse that was being liquidated, the engine had all American made components upon thorough inspection. So I put the Erson cam in it, the ported head, along with the manifolds and was back in action! So I am a “crank breaker” yup:(
