I went to change a leaking oil pan gasket today on my barracuda, when I got the pan off I did a inspection of everything and found #2 main cap was cracked in half! Ran great at the track 2 weeks ago and i drove it into the shop, has anyone ever seen this?


My question is can I take another cap off another block that I have, and have a machine shop take measurements off the old broken cap, and machine the new one to fit?

This 360 has been together for 10 years and has 200 plus passes on it and lots of street miles and i have never had a problem, I just don't want to build a new engine right now nor do I have the extra cash to do it.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
