Pulled the baffles out of the oil pans so I could wash them real good.





Dual trap doors in the pans





New drain fitting welded on the bottom of the pan. They were leaving 3 quarts in the pan where they were draining it..... Then wondering why the oil temps would get hot That tends to happen when your close to a gallon overfull





Baffles Cleaned up





All put back together





Checking the air gap with the new oil pump/pick up tube combo. Will be prefect when the gasket is in place!!





New paint job on the oil pans!

Mark your doing a great job. All of your hard work will pay off. Now get back to work so we can put these bad boys on the dyno next week!!!

Thanks Joe!! It will start to look like engines after tonight!!

A couple pictures of where i am at on these!

After the Shortblocks were assembled I check the rod side clearance.





Head Studs Installed!





Small Glimpse of what it will looke like when it's together!

Getting the oil supply to the Spray Bars figured out!!










Oil Line made for the Spray Bar!!

As promised!! I will show you how to put Gen 6 Valve Train into a Mark IV Block

If your blocks have these holes you are all set!! It is that simple!! Just remember Mark IV blocks use link bar lifters... Not the Gen 6 Lifters. You will use The Gen 6 Step Nose Cams, Gen 6 Cam Plate w/Bolts & Gen 6 Timing Chain!!





Cam Plates installed, Joe had to machine around .005 off the plate to get the camshaft end play correct. He also put slots in the plates in an X pattern (Both Sides) to help them oil better!!





Timing Chain installed and Checking Camshaft Endplay!

Little spray bar action!!

Joe Irwin @ Fast Forward 727-847-5777 can make these spray bars for anyone that wants a set!! They are around $320 complete with all the hardware and lines!! Super easy machining process to install them!! I am pretty sure he said you could even intall them at home for the people that are crafty like that!!

Joe @ Fast Forward Race Engines sent my Air Lids and Valve Covers off to get painted!! These things came out KILLER!! Thanks again Joe!! Exactly what I wanted 100%!
