Might have to check this out. Thanks for the heads up.

Sure man. We need to get you on there after your turbo is done.

Car is running great right now :tup: I need a couple more WOT 3rd gear pulls for Seb. and I'd much rather do it on the rollers if ok. I'll give him a shout and see whats up.

He is in Canada tuning Z cars right now! :driving:

LJMS ground cam in the block, cam retainer plate on w/ arp bolts, freeze plugs in and timing chain on(ish). I cleaned up an old rear plate cover and painted. I forgot my camera and my camera guy sucked... so I didn't get those photos. what ever. lol

-Added freeze plug photos.

Going to have a nice lumpy idle. :tup:

Degreed LJMS cam, dropped in Johnsonlifters (short travel hydrolic), installed Melling high pressure oil pump and put on front cover.

Melling put Red Locktite on a spring retainer screw (or something) because it was damn near impossible to get the screw out to replace the oil flow spring. I also had to take apart the pump to clean out any metal shavings.

All-in-all... pretty successful day.

Another day and a half. You should be ready for install. :rofl2:

That sounds a whole lot like month and a half.

Yea, it's like watching grass grow. :icon14:

Windage tray on (with fitment issues), oil pick up and Moroso 4way trap door pan. I'll come back tomorrow and figure out the clearance.

To find out where the crank and rods are hitting the windage tray. You need some HiSpot bluing compound (grease will work too). Put a thin layer on the inside of the tray. Install it and rotate the crank. The bluing will transfer to the crank and rods marking the contact areas.

My big block Mopars had a swinging oil pick up. My big block Pontiacs and Chevys had a T shaped oil pan.

Git'r done before the 27th. Grand Haven meet up :rock: I really wanna hear this bad boy chuggin'. :driving::driving:

1.5mo is optimistic. :rofl2:

I'll try to make it out in my Juke.

Fixed some windage tray issues and put the oil pan on. Now I can take it back off because I forgot to install the oil pickup.:wtf2:
