well got done with a side job I had rebuilding a transmission for a friends dads Bronco II I got the swapping the 350s I had on my engine stand, The L98 block will sit on the sidelines for a while and I slapped my Vortec 350 on the stand and got to opening it up and turns out Its a 4 Bolt main,
but someone ****ed away installing a timing chain in it at some point, The left the cam retainer off the front of the cam, so the cam gear was walking back and forth and chewed up the block,
Nothing major though, them I got the oil pan off and seen this ..LOL I dont think they got around to running it after the oil pump install. but its clean inside, and has had a replacement oil pump that I dont think was ever run, but I am going to pull it apart and check it, I port all my oil pumps anyway. Not a bad find for 100 bucks. Should power the bonne just fine with this 92 L98 cam and L98 heads . Im shooting for 9.5 to 1 CR nothing too major right now, Ill build the L98 block later on with some flat tops and vortec style heads. Im really trying hard to not scoop up a set of 113 Aluminum L98 heads this guy locally has .Figure with the headers and dual exhaust and the CCC carb setup . maybe 265 hp ....
