Engine is here.

It's a forged rod motor.
Sorry for the poor picture, but it's the best that I could get.
Connecting rod STUDS not bolts and a 12 point nut.


The first mod. I will remove it for the install, I don't want the chain bending it.



It appears to be an OBS block.
There are fuel pump mounts and the port for the push rod has a plug in it.

Awesome Dan!
I imagine you're chomping at the bit to get it put together and build it the way you want it!
Now the real challenge is to keep it as clean as you got it...

I bought it from RiffRaff.
Had to put it on a card so it was 3% more than the list on Clay's link.
Riffraff Diesel: Ford Enhanced Long Block
Don't know the exact amount yet because I don't have the statement.
But according to my high school math that works out to $4751.90.

THATS WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!!

I keep running across something else like a fuel X over with two lines and a "T" but that is what I wanted. OK where is the writeup on that? I know it is out there. Everything here has a write up ...hehe

Nice Dan. The valve covers look different. What are the two caps on the drivers side VC. Is that the CCV thingy?

O.k. Dan, been away for awhile, last I remember, we were chasing a strange pinging noise, and now you bought a new motor. What happened?

That is a HPX (stainless steel) made by KMC IIRC. There are threads in here about the install and where to get them.. Also you can get a similar one from Clay @ Riffraff ! His may be a flexible one ! Not sure.

Edit : Russ you're to fast. I took too long finding the link.
