The "Throw Away 318"

Swinger 340 said
I think we got a little off track here. Something about a 360 throwing a rod and then building a workable 318. When you build a motor (any motor), you need a plan. without going into a plan book here, I just want to put my two cents on the above mention 318. I would not install a High Volume oil pump with a stock pan. You can run the pump dry and throw a rod. Sounds liken he is on the way of doing the same again.

Thanks for the comment regarding the initial post. I went with the HV pump #1 cause I had one and #2 without knowing the internal quality of the engine I thought it might make up for the increased tolerances inside a possible worn out bottom end. I will make sure not to rev it out real high just for that reason. And it seems to be played out by 5000 rpms anyway!
