I've seen a bad fuel pump cause this. Gas gets pumped into the crankcase, ignites, ballooning the valley pan, valves covers and even the oil pan. It you're running a mechanical fuel pump you may want to take a look at it. Does your oil smell like gas?
Now that would have to be some fuel-rich oil to do that !! PLUS ... oil diluted that badly .. the bearing would be hurt by that fact.
The only thing I could see would be A PCV valve gone haywire. I'm gonna get another one today. My Carb has no choke, Oil is crystal clear and does not stink.
This may have happened on a Drag strip pass, I didn't notice it but I haven't touched the car since early last week.
Gonna go parts store shopping to see who has a good looking PCV. Mine's a plastic Mopar one right now.

Ive made a ton of 7K passes with the 440 and street drive.My kids 300 has made probally 300 passes on the OE motor and just 2 breathers and probally 10K street hard miles.Neither has a problem.If you had gas in the oil you would know it.That or try the lighter test and see if it flames quick.Carb would have to dump a ton of gas to cause it.I say blowby.Rocky

Its ignition under the pan. Caused by a grounding + wire , choke, coil, alt wire, on the pan.
Now thats funny. Stay away from my car with that logic.
Ha ha ha!!! I really don't know what to think. For the 6 bucks I replaced the PCV anyway and I may just go give it a 6500 RPM rip to see what the hell is up. Like I said, never had this happen before and I have changed NOTHING in 2 years. The only exposed wire I have is a tach wire from the coil, everything else is in a loom. If it was blowby would it not have pushed the PCV out of the grommet or the grommet out of the valvecover, grommet is fairly loose in my MP valvecovers compared to stock. I see guys pushing their dipstick out of the tube and they don't pop valley pans. Beats me!!
