I bought a IA 2 block (which took me about 7 months to recieve) the block really does look good but there are a few quaility control problems that I've found. 1 the oil holes on the lifter galleys are tapped to deep blocking the oil feed to the right side of the motor. 2 the main bearing holes don't line up very well with any of the bearings that I've tried (you'll need to grind them). 3 the intermedate shaft was a little long but a easy fix. 4 the stock oil pan gasket will not even come close to the rear main so you need to take alot of time and hope you get lucky sealing it with two rear gaskets. 5 stock motor mounts need some grinding to make them fit.6 check the decks really close because they been having cast problems there??
This in no way is meant to knock this block you just need to check everything you can think of and post it online so the next guy can have a easier time putting this thing together
