Don,
 My high school local Pro Stock hero Sonny Bryant built this crank.   8-)

Stainless,
 I think you know us too well.   :-P  Yes, we'll see you on the salt...

Sparky,
 Yes this engine has oil passages down each side of the block. You might also notice that the cam tunnel is totally blocked off from the lower crankcase.

The 1st photo has yellow arrows pointing to the passages at the front of the block. The 2nd shows how they are laid out in the crankcase before the crank and squirters are in place.

Hi Freud

 I stopped building engines in 86' and did not get a chance to use all this new neat stuff, but that was OK still had fun and did some good too.

Mike is talented and relentless.

His engines bend the needles on the dyno.

There is a great line of records behind him.

That includes the Dirty 2 Club for the kids.

The engine is in the car and the turbo system is installed. The fuel, intercooler and intercooler water tanks are installed.
Just the wiring (just) and a few hundred other small details and we'll be ready to go......

Looks great, Mike!

I'll catch you on the salt-if time permits, I'd like to ask a turbo question or three! :evil:

Good luck!
