The only issues I see with the BLOCK, other than a an oil port that was not the same size as the factory on the side for you idiot light/gauge adapter , is there use of possibly the wrong dowels pins ? If you don't have a dowel pin puller the dowels don't just fall out .





John, I think he put the wrong dowels in, not the builder and certainly no fault of the block.

I had to install offset dowels for the bell housing, and almost ruined the block when I had to drill them out. I suspect they were Ford dowels.




In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
