tappet bore bushings

a while back I submitted to you my thoughts on the preparation of the 351C lubrication system. One of my suggestions was to install bushings in all 16 tappet bores with 0.060 inch orifices to improve oil flow to the crank and thus the rod bearings, to raise hot oil pressure, and to control the amount of oil flowing to the valve train. Basically to fix the lubrication system.

Below is a pic of a block in which that has been done, although you can only view the right hand lifters in the picture.

Enjoy! Happy New Year everybody, I'm headed out of town again this evening!

Your friend on the DTBB, George
