    Ford poured rear bearing

    Does anyone have pictures, or drawings of the specs of the rear main, in the block. Specifically, was the forward parting line open into the engine, or was it closed like the other bearings? I’ve seen pouring both ways. TIA

    A friend had several people at the Sparks national tell him that meets are too expensive, and they won’t be going to any more. I’m curious what your thoughts are. Is this just natural attrition or a trend. TIA
