Oil pressure questions

That should move it along quite nicely. I'd buy the thing and drop it in...it seems that projects take too much time and move slowly

You wouldn't know anything about slow moving projects...

Think 535hp will be enough for a 2300lb car?




I do intend to go to a 427W, just debating on building it or buying it...

Smoking the tires will no longer be an issue.

No...it was more a observation from watching others over a lifetime

But on a serious note, I would look at the oil pump as possibly the issue..

On another note: what oil and what filter?

 

[1970Custom]

Valvolene 5w30 Motorcraft filter.

Well, looks like its done for a while, again.

Drained some of the oil as it was high on the dipstick AND it looks like a nice metallic paint job. Which means I screwed something up somewhere, yet again...

Think its about time to give this crap up...

Don't give up Eric....it's a bummer....but at least it was on your own machine and chances are it's fixable with some labor time...it's the way a guy learns.
The guys that give up and quit don't go anywhere....guys like yourself that get pissed off and figure out what went wrong learn and don't make the same mistake again....trust me...I've been there.

I learned quite a bit.

Don't f**k with what ain't broke.

Thinking you can accomplish something doesn't actually mean you can.

I can probably ditch the Vic for enough coin to have the engine repaired and done right.

 

[DNFXDLI]

You can't put a price on learning and experience....you have a good attitude

 

[1970Custom]

I'll just pay someone to do it right this time.
