    Very nice pix of the D Max

    I have owned two 427 Ford Side oilers in the 67 vintage and one 427 Cammer of the same erra.

    The side bolts have little spacers that are custom ground to fit exactly into a particular spot and are marked so they cant be mixed up. 2R- 2L 3R-3L and so on

    I have never seen the breakdown on the D MAX but I ussume they do something similar.
    With the crank all buttoned up with a deep skirt and tied into the rail its really tough to break them short of a catastrophic Kaboom.

    High nickel iron block thats cast plenty heavy.

    OMG we need to get the truck down to the spring shop and get the front end lifted out of the dirt.

    I would like to know more about the new block you have pictured though.
    I would bet the particulars are pretty well guarded right now too.

    You need to use the enhanced editor. The settings are in the User CP.

    Thanks Ron
    After I asked the question I went poking around in the User CP and turned it on.

    Wouldn't be much of a challenge, if it was - I was an easy mark, even for MsPacman.

    Try poking around over in the USER CP section and make sure you have all the goodies turned on.
    Your puter may be set so the pix wont show.

    Check your browser settings.

    What browser are you using?? Navigator or Explorer ???

    Many times just a little tweek here or there will fix things up sweet.

    Adjusting CP settings won't help in this case. The "www.thedieselpage.com" image he is seeing is a replacement image. Without proper permissions, images in the photo album can't be viewed, so all you will see is the replacement image. This helps prevent bandwidth theft, hot linking, and copyright infringement. You must be logged in correctly here, or you won't have permission to view the images, even if they are linked to another website. If you can't view images while in the Photo Album, you won't be able to view them when linked into web pages or this forum. Almost all the time this happens, users aren't logged into the forum correctly. If you enter this site by any means other than the alpha URL or a link from the subscriber site, you WILL have problems sooner or later. If your Bookmarks or Favorites URL contains an IP #, you will have issues. www.thedieselpageforums.com/tdpforum is the correct login address for the forums. Anything else will likely cause problems.

    If anyone has issues with the website function, please direct them to me or Jim. We are aware of the issues that come up, and have simple solutions for most of them.

    Excellent!

    BTW....
    The URL that got you fixed up is also known as the Billet URL. So it should be superior in every way. It'll cost you more, though. I'll bill you.

    Brunch was so good this morning, I think I'll call it my Billet Brunch (I was the cook).

    Sorry. Tryin' to get'er back on topic........

    That billet dipstick tube is absolutely the cat's meow.......

    If that 'girdle' is aluminum, looks like a fancy schmancy spacer to get around the real business at hand, across the mains-webbing inside, maybe with splayed outer bolts to get into the pan rails

    (Those angled areas appear to be within the arc of the rod-cap nuts, and would be necessary if that girdle extended inward of the oem pan-rails)

    They've plumbed the CDR back around to the oil fill tube, where there's less likely chance to pull raw oil thru at high cfm\Boost pressures - be an excellent arrangement for the current crop of 18:1 hi-po engines, or any performance upgrade, rather than have it plumbed to the street, as is common practice.

    That does indeed look like an electric fan clutch setup, and I like the dual t-stat rearrangement to afford more space for IP operations - but, it's prolly only to save money on that long upper rad hose.

    But, that's prolly also why they went back to the earlier accessory-mounting package - wouldn't have been room to move the t-stats forward with the late mounting arrangement.

    IMO, of course..............

    I would really like to get my tools on one of those engines and tear it down all the way.
    Fat chance of that happening in this lifetime me thinks

    I agree with you GMCTD on the nicks, bumps and bulges on that spacer under the block. There is definately something serious going on there.
    That little jewel did not come cheap and is certainly there for a good reason.

    Those angled areas very well may house a clearance slot for the rod nuts to swing through. Sure would like to see inside one.

    OMG, Robyn did you forget your WD40 and the sun came out? Looks like sunburn to me! Oh, I forgot you found the trick tools................

    I would like to see the inside of that motor too. But on my finances it would have to be here on this site.

    Back to 6.2, amazing.

    But... I like my non-epa friendly CDR vent (does one even need a CDR like this?).
