Cleaning up a 351w

[nvrstuk]

That W come from a van? The super long dip stick looks van to me. So does the oil pan.

I ask because I had a hell of a time with the stock E7's. One had an internal crack. Machine shop said it was the second one they had seen from a van with that issue.

Just watch for bubbles in the recovery tank. That was my clue

Tim, was the crack in the valley above the cam bearing casting?

That's where the '94-96 roller blocks crack. Getting common.

OP- I know it's more headache but check for that crack in the rear of the valley above the second cam bearing casting.

Head was cracked....block had no issues.

This is where I will leave this thread since the clean up job is done. I’ll probably start a new one just for the fuel injection now.

Purchased a lightning lower intake manifold!
