That would explain it. No doubt it wouldn't have lasted much
longer, I'm glad you pulled over when you did. The cam is going to
be a bitch to get out if that lifter is in the way. Best to turn it
over, take the oil pan off and try getting the lifter back up far
enough in the bore to get it or the cam out.<br>
<br>
An all Aluminum block would be great, but expensive. Besides, the
challenge here is to use a good old fashioned cast iron 351C block
and make it last.<br>
<br>
My next engine I'm thinking of going with a solid roller stroker. I
just hope I can save enough to get the Pantera to SSCC next year.<br>

You can see the lifter in the center of this picture is so far
into the block it has uncovered the lifter oil hole! That is
why we had low oil pressure on course at SSCC! The lifter
bottom is damaged and won't come out, so the only hope of
using this block is to remove the cam and then get the lifters
out of the cam bore. I'm just going to pull the engine and
drop it off at the builder and see what he can do.</div>
