Jay yes it is and it was hammered on for a lot of years. 4-5 cams before we ended up with that reverse split. With the UD SFT and the Torker 1 it was buzzing 7000 with heavy TRW 2262s and heavy Crower Billet rods. That combo picked up 2 mph over the HO intake and previous HFT 304/312 UD btu killed so much bottom end it ran slower. Also first combo that made power brakes iffy .
Bearing look pretty decent it had Clevite 77 main(fully grooved) and rods. #2 main have more wear in back half of the bearing and thrust cap was not real snug on the dowels. Something put a light scratch in #6 bearing and another one. Most had wear through the first layer of the rods top half dead center.
