So change in plans. I want to be able to run E85 witbout worrying about the pump failing. Bosch 044 are not designed for E85. So I have decided to go with Radium Multipump Surge Tank with two Walbro 465's:

Mounting Plate

Fuel Injector Clinic 2150's

CP with coated crowns:

My block from Outfront. Should be delivered today. 

Well unfortunately when my builder put the block together he could not get the rear main seal in. When Outfront line honed the main they did not bother to do the rear main seal area. This makes for a rear main seal radius that is not concentric with the crank.

Outfront says they put their rear main seal on before closing up their blocks. My builder told them that if you do it that way and you have a rear main seal leak you have to break down the entire motor just to replace the rear seal.

That was a revelation to them and they said that they would get back to my builder. Weeks have gone by and nothing in response. Now my builder has to tear down the block and take it to a machine shop to have the rear machined. Then re assemble the short block again. Of course at my cost. I asked that Outfront make some kind of gesture to help me take care of this. I'm not asking for the entire cost but something to help me out.

Luckily IAG has come out with a new closed deck block that I hope survives Crystal Impressive's torture test. If so, I'll know I have a new vendor to go to for my next block.
