Not to hijack the thread but I caught the Horsepower show too and they made quite a few boo-boos.
1) They replaced the mains with the newer bearings without the dowels. The guy said they couldn't buy the older type and filed off the tangs!
2) They showed shims on the main bearings and described them as .009" to make "everything round".
3) They had a crack repair done on the head. One of the regulars then said that it was "pressure tested to make sure the valves sealed correctly".
4)They also showed a shattered timing gear which they claim that they broke trying to pull it off. Now that one I believe!
In the original show on the truck, they described the engine as a 216 and it was quite obvious it wasn't.
