I've broken quite a few small block Ford's the same fashion. On those, I attribute it to the weaknesses in the block. Especially the 302's, the bottom ends are pretty weak on those. 351w, the main webs are very thin and often blow the main webbing completely out of the block. Sometimes it's just one web and if that's the case the oil pressure will be about 10-15 psi lower than normal, but it can run a long time like that. Then all at once, the crank breaks. The block is supporting the crank, without that support the crank flexes and breaks. Eagle cranks are more commonly broken for whatever reason. I personally think that the cross-drilling that Eagle uses may contribute, but I don't think they're "weak" by any means. Weak(er)? Maybe. 302's and 289's will crack the main webs right up through the oil holes., through the lifter valley area, down the back and front bulkheads. Then when you unbolt the intake manifolds and main caps, sometimes the 2 banks will just fall away from each other. Point being,I would not be the least bit surprised if 318 blocks aren't also weak in those same areas. After all, they are passenger car blocks that are designed for maybe 300hp and 5500-6000 RPM max. Then we double the power and increase the RPM for which the OE blocks weren't designed for.

Interesting. I have heard of the ford blocks breaking in half around 500hp. I do know the 318 block weights around 40 pounds more then the ford block and has a higher nickel content. So I thinking they have a good amount of strength over the 302 351w blocks.

That's worse than when my brother blew up his 318 in his Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue. The thing lost oil pressure while he was going down Route 80 at 70 miles an hour. When I pulled the oil pan off, the crank journals were blued!!! Not only that, but all the rod and main bearings looked like pieces of cut-up Coke cans, literally squished out the sides of all the rod caps and main caps. It had looked like someone cut up a Coke can and took the pieces and clamp the rod caps right over them. Yeah I thought the blue crankshaft with coke can rod bearings was the worst one I've seen, but yours Beat It. It reminds me of that biker that got into a bad accident and was still alive, despite the fact that he lost his lower jaw and most of his lower face. You can barely see his eyes, then everything else was gone. just a tongue hanging there. The same cringe I get from looking at that guy, I get from looking at your motor. 👉🤯👈💯💯

Also a good look at the overlap area of the crankshaft between journals. All of these areas can be a lot thinner than they appear before the breakage.

Funny thought in my collection of books the authors says a 318 Canadian block is very heavy duty,lots of meat in bottom end. See if you can find one and see the difference.I’d say the block flexed caused a shock wave through the crank and caused the caps to bounce.

best advice from a fellow drag racer: The higher you spin that motor, the more money you MUST have in it to keep it from blowing up. PERIOD! If you choose a large displacement motor you simply don't have to spin the engine so high to make power. You can build a stroker mopar over 500 cubic easy these days, lots of kits available. You won't have to spin it past 7000 RPM and you'll have reliable power, and way more torque to move that car. Remember, torque is what moves the car. For the money you spend on a aftermarket small block and kit, you can build a stock factory big block with a stroker kit and make way more HP and torque. Forget the high RPM stock small block, they just can't handle that much high RPM abuse brother. Race engines are reliable all day to 7000, but when you start shifting at 7500+ you better have some high dollar parts in that bitch or your gonna be pulling blown engines on a regular basis friend...
