I added that I have an aviad high capacity oil pan with the propper pick-up. The crank was standard on the mains and .020 on the rods (i am not sure what bearings the builder used). The blanked out part on the upper left is the dyno operators business information. Oil presure before the dyno run had always been 80-90psi at idle cold and 23psi when warm, driving was around 70psi. As far as using vintage parts go, unlike some of the people tathave these cars I like to have the driving sensation as close to what the real cars represented rather than the modern incarnations of today. This was the whole idea of keeping the RPM level within a SAFE area of operation and not causing undo stress to the drivetrain.
