thats pretty nice i do have a couple questions. are those n-series racing heads, why no breathers in the lifter galley, and yeah i know its preferance i personally like the oil staying off the crank, and did you drill the oil holes in the mains since im sure your running a nascar style high volume pump with those delicate rods.lol im not nit picking just asking my shop has only done one real ford worth talking about so i dont know to much about them when it comes to high perf. mods and ive never done one period with aluminum rods. its interesting...especially since i see a degree wheel

Yes holes are drilled in the mains, and delicate Rods you say? That's pretty funny! Do you realize this is gonna be a High Boost Turbo motor?
Yeah Adam I stopped by the shop on the way to work about 3 and they already left...

They are regular Vic. Jr. heads. By breathers, I assume you are referring to standpipes? Regardless, oil windage is a relatively small loss by percentage on a turbo motor. If this were an N/A effort, you can believe they would be in there. I don't believe the mains are cross drilled, and the oil pump is an external wet sump pump, not pictured here.
