time to fire big block.
I purchased this big block from a good ol boy from Fort Mojave NV while buying my 67 dart.
After I.D. ing cam I discovered that the cam bearing oiling orientation is far from concentric.
my big concern is the 4# journal that oils the valvetrain seems to be the worse of the bunch. (second photo).
This engine is a freshened 383 915 heads isky rockers with crane F-284 mechanical (solid) lifter camshaft heads installed the bottom end is unknown but spins freely.
this will be my first engine build/ break-in and any input would be appreciated.
Thank you.
