Thanks fellas, still learning the finer details of these engines. Only real concern was a blocked oil gallery, but there ya go. Ford again sticking with what they knew worked👌🏻

Pre crossflow use the same cam bearings as xflow, its an extra hole for the pre xflow to oil the rockers as they have an extra oil gallery to supply oil to the head and rocker shaft, that gallery gets supplied from the top of the cam journals, whereas xflow use the lifters and pushrods to supply the rockers with oil, its no real biggie just interchangeable bearings
 
 

Gday folks just got my crossflow block from the machine shop and I had them put the cam bearings in while it was there. When looking it over today I noticed the front bearing had two oil gallery holes in it, one lining up with the hole leading to the crank, the other faces the top of the block and does not line up with anything
Have they put it in wrong or have I just got a strange bearing?

The cars probably going to end up as a daily to take some Ks off the other car so easily drivable and not an absolute fuel guzzler was what I had in mind. It’s not intended as a performance build, it’s replacing the flogged out current engine. so I’m not to worried if I should’ve gone .500+
 
I ended up sticking with the camtech .477 208deg cam. Haven’t finished the build yet but I’m happy with what I’ve decided on. My brothers bought a 14892 so it’ll be interesting to compare the two when we’re done.

I’m looking at a set of 120lb springs with dampeners. I’m assuming a standard valve train can handle that?
