Good buy for 8 bill's... I think that almost anyone can tell what it is by the valve cover bolt pattern
IMO
..The block/rot assy is worth the price........As with any other engine , if I might add.. the wrong manifold/head
combination will never port match...pretty sure most these guys no this...just to comment on the port mismatch again,
that does not in my view prevent the engine from running properly, just not at it's full potential.
For example :..Tuned port Corvette engines came with 3/8 interference between intake and heads.
Just port match everything and it's all good

Nice read "Lakes" ....lot's of effort on your part
You can always tell how hard the material is just by the cutting action when machining...as you pointed out
The hardness of the material is always evident & noticable...and this applies to anything that you are machining.
on softer material, your tooling lasts a hell of a lot longer than hard metals.
Great info on the Ford

Hey Nordie & the rest of you....I will try and take the confusion out of clearance issues, with the hopes that it don't bite me in my orange thong 
....I welcome all opinions In all these years , this is how I go about it....
1. normally I machine everything in the "middle"...that is to say:
Crank rod & main Journals "middle"..acrossed the board.
Main housing in the "middle"
Conn. rods in the "middle"
Typically this works out well based on several applications, I use (.0007 to .00012 per inch for oil clear.)
2. If we are looking for additional oil clearance,this is what I do: (If you want tighter clear....do the opposite)
Machine crank on "Mid to Low across the board".**** "Machine main housing mid to high"...and then Size the Rods
on the "High"....If you read into this it makes sence! ...hope I did'nt screw this up,please double check
...One last thing NO
PLASTIGAUGE!!!!for inspection.
EVERYTHING IS BASED OFF "OEM" SPEC'S ..

It is all do-able ..but at a price ..tolerances can be set to customer's spec's ..no problem, the problem is always the pocket book.

I believe that we all agree that plastiguage is not accurate...We have all said this time and again.
IMHO if you do assy work...you need measuring tools.Brad has a thread when he assembled crazy 888's and measured everything himself....that thread should help

Hey Ray;
1. Gaskets look pretty bad...check mating surfaces with straight edge too.
Firing rings on gaskets dont look cool either.
2. The one head is more than likely cracked in that one chamber...Press Check them! Press. check block too!
For sure , as we discussed last nite, you've been taking on water/Lube problem. Get through the basic inspection first.
Just my thoughts....With any luck you will only need the basics,replace some rods,hone , re-ring,bearings,and tittie pink paint.
