1) Is dry sump oiling required, or just remote filtering??
2) What do you all make of the threaded inserts welded to the block sides? Is that the work of Mopar? Note there are 4 on one side only 1 on the other side like that.
The block is being advertised as new, but I'm suspect...

Mclaren block? If this is the block I think it is. Do not quote me on this, but isn't the Mclaren block the one to stay away from?

So that is what the mci 003 on the block means. That was my next question, thanks.
Can someone enlighten me the McLaren story?
This block also has roller cam bearings. Did they come that way?

Can you share what "Problems" there where. Would like to know before I go forward or if these are just talk. That was mentioned on a previous thread but the only thing anyone ever said was water leaks. I think it was on that thread where someone chimed in saying they were currently running one of these blocks but I'm not sure on that. Anyone know what block the guy with the roadrace Ebody Cuda runs. I don't remember exactly but something with the sleeves sinking in the block. Also material was maybe different on them. I don't have any first hand knowledge just remember reading about them when they showed up. PWR also didn't have the best rep around so that may have something to do with it.
