Bob,
I have done the same thing with a good 30 wt
oil and never had a problem. This time I used the Redline assembly lube on everything from the rod pins, all bearings, cam, timing chain, lifters, and distributor.
Brent,
I bought a new Moroso T-style
oil pan from one of the members here and ordered the correct pick up from Moroso. The pick up tube has a triangular brace that extends across the radius of the tube. That is what I had to notch. I barely touched the
oil pump (second oil pump-the first one I ground to deep and really clearanced it) with a grinder after having the girdle milled out about .100.
Keith and Stanley both estimate about 500 hp on pump gas with a 750 HP. I am still waiting on my water pump and some valve covers so I probably won't get it dyno'd until next week.
I am kinda a "tester" on the Pro Comp stuff just to see how it works out (heads, distributor, and box). The price was right! Everything else is Edelbrock, Comp, Crane, or some other main line speed part. I was supposed to test the intake but they sent the wrong one so I went with the Edelbrock Performer RPM.
