Front of a bare OHC V8 engine on wood blocking with timing cover…

Front view of an out-of-vehicle overhead-cam V8 short block sitting on wood blocking, showing the rust-stained aluminum timing cover, exposed crankshaft snout and damper hub, and both cam covers removed to reveal the cylinder head castings. The plastic intake manifold with a large center opening sits atop the valley, and a shop label reading "55" is taped to the right cam cover.
