318 build #2 "cost minded" for the '74 Duster

So we removed the oil pan and oil pump, then removed all the rod caps, and 2 of the main caps. Nothing surprising here. Barring anything shocking under the other few main caps, the crank looks to be in good shape. The bearings looked average to me, and I'm sure the bottom was good. We'll replace the rod bearings, and I might even re-use the mains IF the others look like the two pulled. BOTTOM LINE is simply the bottom end of the engine looks good and thus the build of this 5.2 marches on
:thumbsup:
As clean as it was under the valve covers and intake, Im sure you wasn’t surprised.
