Ok the 1968 to 1987 crank uses the sleeve and is internally balanced,1988 to 2003 uses a counter weight and is externally balanced ,see the long snout and 2 key holes,also got some long brushes for cleaning oil galleries and valve guides ect .

I cleaned up the D3VE heads ,ready for blasting tomorrow,manifold too

I think the hump and the guide would benefit greatly from not being there, the rear of the port I don't think is too bad. Cant be any worse than a Windsor

I have a correction, this one has actually been punched 0.030 but if it's a decent block that tested ok for core shift, that's not a problem.

Learn something new last night early 460 with externally balanced crank uses a small counter weight and also another sleeve is used but not sure if it suits internal balance I'm still working that one out

hey these d3ve a2a irons get a good wrap on you tube and other forums ,just some patient work can really arc them up for factory head,the d3ve a2a is the first of the emission heads with a big bump on the exhaust which must be blended at least or removed as it has something to do with emissions,on the intake side they only need a clean up,but the exhaust is choked and needs some nice porting ,even most go the cobra jet exhaust gasket mark it out and start grinding,they are around 92 cc to 97cc and with a sealed power flat top gets you into the 10.1 zone with milling of avarage 30 thou to get zero deck,but the earlier DOVE AND other early cast irons have a closed chamber and an easy 10.5.1 is had but too much if anything these days,factory cobra jet irons are hard to come by even in the states,very interesting all this big block stuff.

I scored locally a set of head bolts 429/460 and there is 2 lengths and chunky 9/16 as to the clevo ones

Yes all those blocks were dipped in that red stuff to stop corrosion b4 sending out and there is your proof still can see the red oxide,lately have also seen many like that one still in the ford cardboard box on temeyer clevo/400 site.

A guy on a Facebonk Cleveland group just showed us his his unicorn find... A virgin bore pillow block over in the States, meaning that it was kept there (not sent back here due to core shift) so there's a chance that it's a good one. Has an internally balanced cast crank, 4 bolt mains with studs, painted internally. Could be an unused NASCAR block.

Looks like a dual plane design too, would have good torque for the street

Quench heads will deal with higher compression if set up right (zero deck, flat tops, etc) as they keep the mixture moving during combustion. My 302 is at around 10:1 and it's very mild. Only sees a bit of knock when hot and at low rpm/high load.

Weird, looks like they criss-cross down to the lifter oil galleries. Never see that before. Maybe that's how they get oil from one side to the other?
