Cab good guess- cam was still in perfect shape not a mark on it - all other bearing came out perfect - I have seen this before - the main cap was loose it bled oil enough to starve the rod foe awhile then finally ceased the bearing.

 You didn't get that much heat in the rod journal from a broken main web... The main bearings would tell that tale.. Those rod journals were smokin..
I pointed that out in the the thread last week that he posted, it spun a rod bearing first...

I got to say when the man tears something up, he sure does it right.
I hope you got your money out of that one , cause as they said, this one is done.
Sorry to see it.
This one does not owe me anything. The bottom end was put together back in 2000 and was set up with the MW heads and intake and in my 70 Challenger that I drove on the street for a while. Then it went into my 64 car in 04 and into the 63 in the last year..... It has done well for me and I had fun with it.

Wow Russ, Looks like it had it's own little war going on in there...Looks like all you may salvage off of that one is the balancer bolt Let me know if you need any help  poppaj
i think Russ wants to turn it up next year so i think he probably will pass on the help from you, IMO, 
remember he does want to go fast, ouch thats gonna leave a mark.

If that cracked main bolt hole is why it broke isn't that why they use aluminum caps? Of course my thoughts are that is just a result of the rods seizing not the cause. I don't see that causing a significant loss of lube to the rods with out takeing out the main long before
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

if you think it was a main that got loose first, allowing oil pressure to bleed off at the main bearing, starving the rods for oil, and thus, the spun rod bearing...would a block girdle/main cap system have prevented that?
