    [WANTED] Source for right angle adapter gaskets

    Good Idea if it was not for the fact that they just were shut down and the owner was arrested for embezzlement!

    Shortened 8.75?

    Update, with the third member installed i have 25 1/2 from the center of the carrier to the end of the housing. The right axle is 25 1/4 from the bearing retainer to the end of the shaft and the left is 25 5/8 . This means they are not touching the center pin in the carrier. I am not sure how...

    Final update for this thread. Oil pan removed oil filter opened up. Some sort of goo was restricting oil flow in the oil filter. Opened up a new filter and it had the same goo in it. I mistakenly used a fram high mileage filter vs an extra guard filter. I have both in my garage and did not...

    Shumacher still has the mounts. They are just out of stock. i had the same issue. Call Brewers Perfomance. He has a complete linkage set up for your conversion. Makes it way easier than trying to find all the parts that will work. Also , unless you already know, you may need to change the...

    Second Blueprint 408 issues

    I personally believe this is a luck of the draw situation.... JW I hope it is too, but I am thinking of just building my own motor now and scrapping the blueprint. I will contact you once I have made a decision if I am going to ditch the BP motor.

    Second Blueprint 408 issues

    Thanks I know s*** happens. But I don't have much patience for this type of s***. At this point its not known 100% if it is rod failure or something else. I do know its internal. If the pan gets pulled off and the cause is associated to something that I did then I will eat it. So I would rather...

    Second Blueprint 408 issues

    Because I am choosing to not send the motor back to them. If they want to pay for the repairs then they can. I also hope they will speak with the engine builder I am going with. I may just say screw it and put the 340 back in and ditch the 408 project all together

    Second Blueprint 408 issues

    Hey Johnny, FYI, I am pretty sure I got a new motor not a rebuild of the one I send back. It had a different year block, heads, different serial number etc. I am very grateful that you guys took it back and swapped it. You guys are kick *** in the service department. It did give me piece of...

    Second Blueprint 408 issues

    Hey Phreakish, The shop I took it to suddenly got real busy with small jobs so that did delay the diagnosis. The other delay was I asked them to look at every other potential cause. I initially told them to yank it and take apart. But after talking with blueprint and coming to my senses after...

    Second Blueprint 408 issues

    So I guess my options at this point is to either repair this one, if it can be repaired. Or put the strong running 340 that I took out back in. Or I can just take the 408 and build it to my liking since I am not sending it back to them. I just spoke to the folks at blue print and they want the...

    Second Blueprint 408 issues

    The shop did all the inspections to rule out the noise coming from somewhere else. Then they went one by one disconnecting the spark plug wires and found the noise stopped( or significantly decreased) when the #2 spark plug wire was removed. I went by and pulled the dip stick, lots of metal...

    Second Blueprint 408 issues

    I verified with the person at Blueprint that if there is something that is found related to blueprints workmanship, that they would pay for the repairs. As expected they would not commit to paying for anything up front without knowing what caused the bearing failure. Oh well, I will see what...

    Second Blueprint 408 issues

    Took the car down to a local engine builder. He confirmed what I thought it is, rod bearing is bad. When I started the car this morning there was no noise. I took it around the block after it was warmed up and the noise was back.
