That sucks about the crack.

Got a flanged sleeve coming from LA Sleeve ...



Be nice to have a block that don't need work ... (Outside of boring oversize)
But, I'm cool with this block since it is the last year of the Mark IV's ... Makes it kind of special !

Stopping the cracks from growing ..

All that work just to run a brush though the oil passages !!

 

[Jesse S]

Found a return spring that I like better than what I had ..



Just a little lathe work got it in play ..

 

[Jesse S]

Fabricated a mount ..





Got it roughed in .. Some more dressing is in the near future ...

Making the fuel line is going well, this is the second attempt at it ..
First one is now in the sh#t can ..





Much better ..

 

[Jesse S]

Found a nice out of the way spot to mount TCI's TPS unit ...





Nailed it to a unused threaded hole at the back of the head ..
Did a test to make sure it's working good ...
Also upgrading the connector to a waterproof one ..

 

[Jesse S]

Got some grinding to do and back in the stand it'll go ..



Not all that sure I want to bore to .060" over ..
.030" would clean up the bores since they are STD ..

Wouldn't the fuel line being attached to the engine promote vapor lock?
