@@ricklodestein1101 Not exactly. Especially depending on if he is not looking to go exceed that 600 mark. They have become easy to get vs finding a 6.4 in a junk yard or buying a crate. It's the modern day 318 that can still make good power.
First off... 👏🏾😁 BRAVO!!! You did a lot with a little, and you didn't it your way! You had a very reliable, consistent, and effective setup. I'd do a Lil R&D find out what went wrong and build it back stronger. I absolutely love Gen 3s, but going that route will be time/$ just to get into the car. Then, more time/$ on a stand alone, learning how to tune it and make it work. Either way, step back, take a deep breath, and make your decision on a clear non emotional mind. Great content bruh keep it up!
By far the most power I've ever seen a 318 make. I typically remove 318's as soon as i aquire the vehicle. Absolutely Beautiful mopar you got there btw.
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.
Not sure If I heard Gary say he had a 440 block in the garage, But I did hear 340 a couple of times. Nice Car Gary, one of my all time favs!!!!! Cheers from Motown.
I love the 383! Build it up and use RB or Hemi rods and pay attention to the oil passages, and it should rev at 7,000 rpm. Of course you’ll have to pay attention to the build, oil drain back, strong enough top end etc. but it should do what you want it too.
I feel your pain buddy. Put a 383 stroker motor in my c10 and promptly blew it up because I know nothing about tuning carbs and ran it lean. Seeing this carnage is bringing back some tough memories…
I own two 5.7s ... I honestly feel like they are way better engine designs compared to the older LA small blocks, especially the Hemi heads ... the 392 heads flow 340 cfm straight from the factory w/o port work... they have stroker kits for those blocks that go up to 450+ cubic inches... u won't get that kind of displacement out of a 318 block ...
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. 👉🤯👈💯💯
That sucks! As far as valves go probably have all the valves spun and checked for bends and guides checked for cracks . Wishing all the best on the next build . I have never seen a break like that up the front by the balancer
Damn, brother, that's some nasty carnage! I couldn't tell you which way to go on your next one. I would probably go with the Gen III hemi as you get more cubes and way better breathing heads from the factory. Plus, you already have several of them.
One more small block! I Always wondered how much the pre-mag roller blocks could be pushed too! I couldn’t get 318 in my old 89’ B350 to quit but the 9.25” did!
Gonna need a lot of JB Weld for that one.....just kidding. Nice car! Love the underdog 318 stories. The teardown reveals a lot regarding the cross-sectional thickness of the front of the block, main bearing webs, and main bearing caps. 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. Just curious as to what the original (first) failure was. That broken main bearing cap makes me think that may have been where it started. Good luck with the next itteration!
Man that 318 did it's job put down some passes whoop some procharger cars and went out with a bang. You proved that the 67-69 318's are nothing to joke about but I am pretty sure you maxed out what it can do. But with all those hemi block's brother you could be making some serious power with bolt ons and a single turbo a 5.7 can make 800-900+ plus with a good tune. And you have a classic hemi cuda to rock it in it's a no brainier.
My friend had a 1972 RT charger with a 440 magnum never got beat on the street Camaros Chevelle Torino‘s mustangs whatever it takes. Then he built a Hemi for a Plymouth, super bird . love you commitment. Good luck happy motoring. Va.
Hey bud I love that you were giving the 318s love. I'd keep running them to be honest. 7k is a little much for the chrysler small block. 6400 is usually were you want to be. I've never seen someone destroy a 318 like that so my hats off to you.
Just happened across your channel. Been curious what a balanced/blueprinted 318 would do with racey cam-timing & heads that breathe. I know D Vizard is plotting a 2-barrel version. Kudos 👍 Now, to watch your videos
New Subscriber here. Your carnage popped up on my feed this morning so I watched. That’s a hell of a blow up you have on this 318. I threw #3 out my oil pan in October, in my BigBlock C10. It wiped out the whole cylinder. But your destruction is much worse. Good luck with the rebuild
I think that's the most blowed up motor of ever seen. But those scat rods held on! I also think that while you're deciding what motor to put in the car you should put some disc brakes on that thing so it'll actually stop without a parachute and an anchor once u get going. Maybe even power disc? Nice looking car.
Beautiful!...Did you run oil lines inside the intake to the back of the cam? They tend to lose oil pressure to the cam at the back for the 273/318/340's. Nice aluminum heads wow! Nick's garage is a good one to watch.
go for a small block, the 318's and other mopars are pretty bulletproof. a hemi wont exactly last as long and i have heard they are prone to some pretty bad issues(dont go for any blocks 2012 or earlier, they are weak) and their cranks even factory cant handle boost. stick with what works the best for you which is the small block mopars. my next upgrade suggestion is to go for a 323 or 360(built on the same 318 block)
OUCH!!! 😯 What's the best the car ran with that combo? How long was it together? And lastly what's that car weigh? I'd definitely do another small block combo for now myself. As doing the retro-fit wouldn't be anything I'd want to hurry on... That would be a long-term project I'd start in Nov. A 340/416 kit or a 360/408 kit would be my starting point personally
Like uncle Tony says, it could be caused by the timing chain being too tight stressing the crank when becoming hot and hence worsening the problem. Always leave a little slack.
soon as a valve touches its bent, even if its bent slightly the constant in and out motion of bending and straightening over time causes metal fatigue at the bottom of the stem and they can break iff
The Mopar small block are the best gas engine ever built in my opinion. I have made pretty good power out of 360s through the years. Nice to see the QS oil jug in the back ground you know what oil to use..God bless.
Congratulations ! Welcome to the 600 HP on a LA block Club. You want make power like this with a small block you need a Nascar block . Last I knew they're about 5k. Good Luck finding one. My buddy went through the same thing but his was a 340 block. That was very Impressive and will make a Killer Coffee Table. Build another small block and let's get back Racing.
Impressive devastation! Scattered er pretty good I've gotta say. Lucky the heads were OK. I'm not really a Mopar guy but you could probably use them on a 340 build. Good luck brah✌
Please, not another Hemi swap. I had that idea myself for my Duster years ago, but now when everybody does it it's way cooler to go 318! You have learned a lot and next 318 you build will be even better!
That is some serious carnage. Looks to be a crank let go either from torsional issues or bad crank damper. Do you think that thrust bearing was worn out or did that damage happen after it blew up?
I'd like to see you build your spare 318 block and put that in, if it won't take a 4" bore then put the 340 in it. Are you going to do a post mortem on why the crank broke?
Gary, that crankshaft has been broken along time. You can see the Old cracked area as opposed to the new cracks. This is why magnuflux is important on rebuilds. I'm not sure if the crankshaft was new or reused? What kind of crankshaft was it? Take care, Ed.
@@tims72demon Good morning Tim. Yes to bad Gary's engine is destroyed. No doubt started with a broken crankshaft. Good to hear from you. Take care, Ed.
I'm glad you didn't wreck the car putting that much oil under the tires. Wow, that hurts. Gotta balance things like the rods to where all of them weigh EXACTLY the same to a tenth of a gram. Pistons too. Engine balance prevents a lot of this. Also enough valve to piston clearance to allow for heat expansion. Enough valve spring to rev that high for a couple hundred passes.
The bearing that was showed and how the block scattered ,looks to me like the mains walked . Don’t know if they make a 4bolt cap or a 6 bolt cap with side bolts to keep it from flexing like the Chevy LS block. 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.
Put the 392 in it with a hellcat blower when funds allow…but definitley put one of them modern hemis in there and then work your way to boost in any shape or form….take off hellcat blowers can be found for a decent price…kinda like the Lsa blowers for us LS guys….there not $500 like they used to be 10 yrs ago but you can still find a good one for around $1000/$1300……or just up it to $2000/$2200 and get a factory new one…….damn you blew that 318’s face out!!! Major carnage
Well, they say if you are going to do something do it right! I've never seen a 318 so grenaded. I was playing around with a 90 over 318 build in around 2005. Used an A block with 360 J heads. Wish someone had built aluminum poly heads. Good luck whichever way you decide to go build wise.
WOW.. I've seen a new level of one letting go now! Great video man! What t-stat housing and radiator hose are you using? Mine leaks profusely! THANKS! (new sub)
I would use the truck block and crank you said could handle 1600 horse-ponies without doing anything. Yeah its a newer Hemi but I wouldnt mind seeing how much potential is there and the heads probably already flow enough to get the power you need.
See if you can get a 318 machined for splayed 4-bolt mains. I've had a couple of mopars with stock 318's and they are solid engines. Before I saw clearly what was damaged I suspected this one had 2 bolts and though they are strong ,600 HP was probably more then they were designed for. looking forward to weeing where you take this project next.
A stroker 318 for sure.... Even bone stock 3.310 cranks will rev nicely but those 4.0 stroker cranks from Eagle aren't going to love 7000 plus. Higher quality stuff , Callies, Howards Crower etc would be good to that rpm most likely. I'd keep the Eagle 4.0 stroker cranks to 6500 or so. With the right cam like the solid roller circle track grind from Howards...2800-6400 it would haul ass
Well you already have the heads, intake and carb for a small block, plus the car is setup for a small block so if you ask me grab one of the 340's or the 318 you have sitting there, throw a rotating assembly in it, bolt the top end on and drop the new engine in. BUT! you do have all those hemi's laying around, and we all know them gen 3's can make some wicked power, so if you're really feeling up to hemi swapping it now would be the time. Best of luck, hope to see the Barracuda back up and running soon.
Throw one of the 340’s in it. I have a 340 block Im looking to put in my 73 Duster. Sorry for your blown engine but looking forward to what you decide on doing with the build.
I never thought I'd honestly see an engine scattered worse than the Pontiac 389 I blew apart at York, Pa. that being said, myself I'd stick with a small block 318 or 340 but it's your call it's your car. I'm thankful your ok remember it could have been a lot worse.
It's only a casting, it's (was) 408 cubic inches if I remember correctly. Just sayin'. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not REALLY a 318. In the spirit. But STILL a genuine badass none the less.
Hello, where did the crank first break? Is there signs of a preexisting fracture. Wa?s the crank magnafluched? And, did the harmonic balancer have anything to do with the failure? Something failed why?
If you build another 318/340. The factory made steel forged cranks. Run a good forged crank with a stud girdle for the bottom end. As much he'll as your putting the engine through it needs that to keep the bottom end from flexing. The new hemis the 5.7 have a weak bottom end and prone to shooting rods. So either way there's a 2k hit.
Please don't do a hemi swap like all the other people do.... your 318 was why I started watching your channel... 318s have been my favorite because they are so bastardized by the racing community that it is funny when ya cook some dude with a built hemi with a screaming 318... the looks you get priceless... please do another 318... remember they are only as strong g as you build it to be from the get go...stay true and safe !
I would like to build a 318 with a 4 inch bore.. What crank ,rod and pistons would I need for this combo? What cubic inch is your engine????? Thank You...
Keep a small block in it.... you are an inspiration for us LA SB lovers with their potential you've shown us..
I'm sorry for your loss, but damn! That is the most impressive carnage I have seen! And I watch every video from I Do Cars!
IDC woke up with a huge hardon when this blew up..... LOL
I agree… not sure I’ve ever seen this much block damage on any ‘I do cars’ episode
I agree too.
he did it up good. he has the right to call it blown up.
Keep showing the 318s love. They are usually known as boat anchors. Seeing the potential is impressive. If not throw a 5.7 at it.
5.7? Talk about a boat anchor. Junk!!
@@ricklodestein1101 Not exactly. Especially depending on if he is not looking to go exceed that 600 mark. They have become easy to get vs finding a 6.4 in a junk yard or buying a crate. It's the modern day 318 that can still make good power.
Right just like Don is giving love to the 5.7s just like he's doing to Shake N Bake.
Boat anchor my Mopar ass.
Boat anchor? lol
Sorry to see this happened Gary.
The car sure ran good.
Thanks for sharing the carnage.
Real shame.
Take care, Ed.
I hope you’ll do another 318! That’s what makes this car stand out.
Wow. Gary deserves some kind of an award for that. Best broken engine ever. Love that Cuda. Hope to see it up and running again soon.
I vote for building another 318. Will love watching it get assembled!!

Pistons too. Engine balance prevents a lot of this. Also enough valve to piston clearance to allow for heat expansion. Enough valve spring to rev that high for a couple hundred passes.
The bearing that was showed and how the block scattered ,looks to me like the mains walked . Don’t know if they make a 4bolt cap or a 6 bolt cap with side bolts to keep it from flexing like the Chevy LS block.
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.
Long live the 318 and here’s to new power! That car is badass!!!!
You may have junked it... BUT GLORY FOREVER! That's a bad ass looking car. Maybe we can run em down track sometime. Fuel the brand rivalry.
Put the 392 in it with a hellcat blower when funds allow…but definitley put one of them modern hemis in there and then work your way to boost in any shape or form….take off hellcat blowers can be found for a decent price…kinda like the Lsa blowers for us LS guys….there not $500 like they used to be 10 yrs ago but you can still find a good one for around $1000/$1300……or just up it to $2000/$2200 and get a factory new one…….damn you blew that 318’s face out!!! Major carnage
Well, they say if you are going to do something do it right! I've never seen a 318 so grenaded. I was playing around with a 90 over 318 build in around 2005. Used an A block with 360 J heads. Wish someone had built aluminum poly heads.
Good luck whichever way you decide to go build wise.
WOW.. I've seen a new level of one letting go now! Great video man! What t-stat housing and radiator hose are you using? Mine leaks profusely! THANKS! (new sub)
I would use the truck block and crank you said could handle 1600 horse-ponies without doing anything. Yeah its a newer Hemi but I wouldnt mind seeing how much potential is there and the heads probably already flow enough to get the power you need.
factory block, crank, rods and pistons.. just needs a decent sized turbo and then be able to handle fuel management (i.e. Holley EFI)
@@Dirtnap300 Turbo? Come on, not another turbo build FFS!!! I could toss a turbo on my lawn mower and it'd make 600hp, what's the fun in that? SMH
@@Anarchy-Is-Liberty 600hp 318 ! it must idle at 2500 , its a pretty Big number for a street car .
Used to have them in some of the police cars, the 265 would leave em behind, the Monaro 350 GTS would leave both police cars behind.
been watching you from the start, my heart says go with another 318
but this setback might be the start of something new, maybe
See if you can get a 318 machined for splayed 4-bolt mains. I've had a couple of mopars with stock 318's and they are solid engines. Before I saw clearly what was damaged I suspected this one had 2 bolts and though they are strong ,600 HP was probably more then they were designed for. looking forward to weeing where you take this project next.
A stroker 318 for sure....
Even bone stock 3.310 cranks will rev
nicely but those 4.0 stroker cranks from Eagle aren't going to love 7000 plus.
Higher quality stuff , Callies, Howards Crower etc would be good to that rpm most likely.
I'd keep the Eagle 4.0 stroker cranks to 6500 or so.
With the right cam like the solid roller circle track grind from Howards...2800-6400 it would haul ass
Well you already have the heads, intake and carb for a small block, plus the car is setup for a small block so if you ask me grab one of the 340's or the 318 you have sitting there, throw a rotating assembly in it, bolt the top end on and drop the new engine in. BUT! you do have all those hemi's laying around, and we all know them gen 3's can make some wicked power, so if you're really feeling up to hemi swapping it now would be the time. Best of luck, hope to see the Barracuda back up and running soon.
1971 360 block ,heavy cylinder walls can take a over bore if you dare of 4.1 inches sonic check it first. Then stroked kit.
If you thought it was tight with the 318, the hemi is slightly bigger ;-) Keep up the good work.
That sucks, Dude. I'm sorry that it happened to ya.
If you went with the Gen 3 Hemi, what engine controller would you use?
Any clue as to what triggered this failure? Was the crank reground?
Throw one of the 340’s in it. I have a 340 block Im looking to put in my 73 Duster. Sorry for your blown engine but looking forward to what you decide on doing with the build.
What brand crank? We had a cast eagle 383 sbc break just like that right through the big lightning hole in rod journal. Was quite ugly lol
Glad to see I'm not the only one with a bunch of random motors laying around.🤣
I never thought I'd honestly see an engine scattered worse than the Pontiac 389 I blew apart at York, Pa. that being said, myself I'd stick with a small block 318 or 340 but it's your call it's your car. I'm thankful your ok remember it could have been a lot worse.
It's only a casting, it's (was) 408 cubic inches if I remember correctly. Just sayin'. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not REALLY a 318. In the spirit. But STILL a genuine badass none the less.
Old iron came out, so old iron has to go back in. Those 340s are stout little beasts. However she goes back together, it's gonna run like no other.
Hello, where did the crank first break? Is there signs of a preexisting fracture. Wa?s the crank magnafluched? And, did the harmonic balancer have anything to do with the failure? Something failed why?
If you build another 318/340. The factory made steel forged cranks. Run a good forged crank with a stud girdle for the bottom end. As much he'll as your putting the engine through it needs that to keep the bottom end from flexing. The new hemis the 5.7 have a weak bottom end and prone to shooting rods. So either way there's a 2k hit.
Your missus looks happy you have engine parts all over the laundry room your a master at this shit
Time for a high end crankshaft ?
Could be the timing chain was too tight- how long was the chain in this engine?
Please don't do a hemi swap like all the other people do.... your 318 was why I started watching your channel... 318s have been my favorite because they are so bastardized by the racing community that it is funny when ya cook some dude with a built hemi with a screaming 318... the looks you get priceless... please do another 318... remember they are only as strong g as you build it to be from the get go...stay true and safe !
My thoughts exactly.
just get a cheap 5.2 out of like, literally any late 90s/early 00s mopar. i feel you with that "buy these headers so they fit" type struggle.
360 block...fun video.
Love the sarcasm.
Sorry for your loss
Personally I’d go with the 392 or the 340 can make some power as well. Keep us posted,
Yup and a 261 can aswell
@@shadowopsairman1583 yes sir!
When them mopars pop they really pop🤗
(nearly) 2 HP from every CI .... very impressive ! All the best with the new engine !
I would like to build a 318 with a 4 inch bore.. What crank ,rod and pistons would I need for this combo? What cubic inch is your engine????? Thank You...
Miscellaneous Oddball Parts Assembled Radically!!!!!
Keep Rocking!!!
Im surprised nobody commented on how well the rods held up- what brand are they?
Scat
So Bore & Stroke are just under 4.0" x 3.31"?
Also what kind of motor oil did you use? Ty
