		between cylinders 7 & 8.  However, even that is not that bad, especially if you are not racing, not making over 600HP and are using under 12:1 compression.  This could lead to a warm running engline, but I doubt it as it is only one cylinder-to-cylinder interface.  It certainly will not fail here in the configuration you plan on running. FYI, I generally want 0.120+" between cylinders, but would run 0.100" with a street engine.  If they would have offset bored #7, you would have been perfect.
  The major thrust faces look good, with only one measurement under 0.140".  I look for 0.150+" here for race engines, but you are fine for a street engine.
  Run it!  You will not do much better with a Ford passenger car block.
  Cheers, Dan  |
