12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build
I contemplated which oil pan to get for the G3 for a while. I really like the road race Milodon with the kick outs on the sides, but I questioned whether the TTI headers I intend to purchase would interfere. I was about to call them to ask when they updated their website and it clearly says that pan won't work. I'm glad I didn't buy it. My main concern is/was oil control during cornering. It seems Holly modeled their cast aluminum pan off the factory pans with the casting in the bottom to direct oil. I pulled the trigger on their cast pan. I have to say, it is a nice piece. The windage tray appears to fit up tight near the rotating assembly and the extra baffle above the sump seems like it will work well. The nice things about the G3 is the oil from the heads had dedicated drain back holes that go all the way to the pan. I also got new valve springs, retainers, locators, keepers, locks, and seals. The springs are good to .625" lift, which I won't exceed. I was very heavily leaning toward the Comp 221/233, .594/.594 "supercharger stage 1 cam", but I have now decided against it. I feel like the wider LSA is going to give up some low end torque/HP. I came across the Cam Motion "Titan 2" which has more duration than the comp and has a 114 LSA compared the 116 on the Comp. I may sacrifice some top end power, but this isn't a drag car. Average torque is what will make my car work well. A bonus is Cam Motion is about 50 miles from my house. I have no idea how I didn't know that. They also grind their own cams, they don't outsource them. I'll be happy to support a "local" business, especially if they have something that should work well.
