Rick, Clois & Barry, thanks so much for your replies!
Rick L, yeah, I knew the 4.05" was the 360/390, I was trying to keep my post as short as possible, but you and I are on the same page on a crank......I've got a 4.25 Scat that I'm trying to decide what to put it in. This block may be it. The only thing is, when I picked up the crank, I also got a set of forged 4.13" pistons (and I-beam rods), which means stock 428 bore. As far as the HV
oil pump, I assume you mean a Mellings 57 (or equivalent). What about the 80 psig spring? What psig spring does it come with, and where do I get the 80? thanks for your comments!
Clois, good luck on your dyno. I need to swing by your place, I've still got some of your stuff! Thanks for the tip on Stanley. I need to look him up, and he's nice and close!
Barry R, thanks for your vote of confidence..."sounds like a nice piece". I've followed all of your stuff in the mag's, Engine Bldr's Challenge (correct title?).....very impressive!!
again, guys, thanks for the input!
Joe
