Show me a better way if you can. Your the only person I've seen that has bad mouthed this mod. If there were 10 people that said it was a bad mod I might change my thinking.
Never put your faith in numbers. Just because many say it, doesn't make it right.
I just found out its date night. Who knew. I didn't. But I'm told it is.
If I get a chance tomorrow I'll pull out a block and a crank. Wish I had a SBC sitting here. It's much easier and quicker to do a video to explain how you fix it. For 7500 and under all you need is the right pan, full groove mains and the lifter leaks blocked. Once you go past that, you need to fix Walter P. Chrysler's poorly copied Buick/Pontiac oiling system. I forget which GM brand he started with, IIRC it's Buick but both the buick and Pontiac have the same jacked up oil timing. It's hard to fault the engineers back then. They didn't know dumb *** racers were going to take 1950's architecture and spin the guts out of it. I mean, think about it. Even in the 1970's unless you were running Pro Stock or Modified eliminator most guys weren't going much past 7500. And even at that, they were not quite at the 2 HP/CID mark. Today, Pro Stock is banging on 3 HP/CID naturally aspirated. In 1970 you'd have been locked in a rubber room for even think that possible.
Off to the shower and then date night. Unreal. Some day, I'll be my own boss. Maybe. If the wife lets me.
