ScottJ Hey Scott those alt under the water pumps have been out for 2 years. The problem is the amount of amperage out put In the beginning there was only 38-40 amps. Now think they are up to 60 or 70 amps. One problem, when at idle their is no charging, the pulley spins to slow. Nascar used them until too much amparage was need in the cars. Some may still use them I am not sure. Silicone,RTV,Pipe Dope, High Tack, and bubblegum are all I use to seal my motor.
I think you can get a 3 micron filter for the Oberg filter. I would run a 10-12 one. What
oil pressure are you running when racing??? I know that the pump has a regulator. What are your pulley teeth gears #. I do not want to turn more than 6200 rpms till I get my steel crank in 2 years and chevy rods. I want to go to 480 cubes with 15 lbs of boost. that will be all the car I want. In 3 years I want that Car and Driver ultimate race to go play in and maybe One lap of America. I may need bigger brakes, 13 inch and a 3 channel ABS system installed. We will have to see?
Got to go shopping Rick
