Well, I just broke my 360 block. Terminal?

Nothing is gonna give in this area if a decent repair is done. Total force exerted from the oil in that small break area is in the range of 5-10 lbs max in the effected area and the bearing will be well supported by the remaining material. And the above does not count the cost of machine work that may have gone into the block at this point; those $$ would be thrown away. Plus the time to dig out a new one and re-work it fresh.... not every one lives near to a boneyard. I'd fix it for sure..... and have done so with more damage in blocks, as I knew the rest of the block was a known, good item and was in hand, ready to go.

As I stated in a previous post, I wish the Op nothing but the best. It most likely will work just fine if he choses to re-work that area. I never stated that it wouldn't hold up if they choose to re-work that area. He said he already has 1k into it, so going forward with the block probably makes sense to him.
But for me, if it was a crack for an external bolt, like a motor mount or something, I would proceed forward. Internal? My opinion is move on..... Why? Because I would forever be thinking of that repair every time I floored it, or drove it 100 miles away from home. So, to put my mind at ease, I personally would get another block, but hey, it's just what I'd do. Each to their own. No amount of facts, articles, success stories, or anything else would change my mind.
