What kind of rpm will this engine see? I always thought chevy had priority main oiling and didn’t need these mods?Or are you just limiting top end oil flow? All very interesting. Thanks

 

[stuska1]

No mods, Motown ll raised cam comes with bushings , they are just unfinished and have to be honed to size. Engine is 426 cu, inch will see 8000+ rpm.

 

[Steve.k]

Ok i see. Thats pretty decent block by looks of it then. Not many options like that in ford world. Thanks again.

Another 289 Hi-po getting the treatment along with all the other "projects".

No cracks in the stud bosses or chambers on this 289, and the liners are in.
