Bare machined V8 engine block inverted on a pallet in a truck bed

A freshly machined V8 engine block sits upside down on a wooden pallet in a pickup bed, showing the bare cylinder bores, main bearing saddles and a torque plate bolted across the front face. Zinc-plated bolts, the fuel pump boss and threaded coolant passages are visible on the clean, blasted aluminum-gray casting.
