Looking down the firewall side bank from the bottom

The intake valley before I cleaned it up.

All the cylinders look good. I'll go over them with a ball hone just to clean them up.

5

Here is the middle block, this is the main bearing block.

Looks like those are ballence shaft bearings. Not used on the 4.6, but I believe they are used on the smaller 4.0L Pontiac version.

The crank. That center section is for the crank pickup for the GM computer. I wish I could use this for the TEC3.

8 pistons and rods laid out.

This keeps the oil away from the crank as it spins.

This is a stifner that mounts between the bottom block and the oil pan.

All cleaned up.

I have gone over this block with a fine tooth comb.

Pretty cool looking. Still need to clean the outside sith some engine cleaners.

These are the crank pickups. These will be removed

I welded up the wastegate flange onto the Y. I was going to go all fancy. But gave in to simplicity.

29

Here is the wastegate.

Did a quick test fit of the adjustable strut tops for the rear. I'll have to adjust them before installing the strut tower bar.

31

Looks like plenty of room.
