Funny,I just got off the phone with a buddy and he was talking about putting skids on his to protect the pan.

I got it all set up today and went to tnt but it all went to hell I'm too pissed to think about it! I DID do a burnout tho! It did'nt sound like it should so i shut it down,still had oil psi and all the rockers are on.i'll find it tomorrow! I cant realy bitch,first time i ever had to be pulled back to the trailer.O well......


O...any guess what it scaled? The old deal was 2350 but not near as much cage as the new one.i realy liked the ratio,51% on the nose and 1/2 a turn on the top rh 4 link bar put it on the money!

Wild guess is somewhere around 2350 again?

More cage but thinner tubing.

damn good guess Dave....2335 and i still have the spindle mount wheels to put on. The bad news is i found the #1 rod bearing on its way out. I'll put the little motor back in now!

hate to hear that but at least you caught it before it made a new exit hole

thats what i said,lol.i did'nt realy like how the filter looked after i ran it last but it was new and some little junk i expected.it still had 60 psi when i killed it so maybe it aint too bad.

it does suck but it aint got any holes in it,lol.i started pulling it today and cuz its so easy to get to in the car i like to pull the intake and hat off together.i had a good idea what caused it so i went ahead and took the head off.the piston dome had beat on the head I had to do a lot of work on the dome to make it fit the head but just did'nt do enough i guess.i just hope the crank aint too bad.

I'd send the pan back to Charlie's and have a kickout put in it and loose some of the sump depth. With the headers exiting out the side looks like you have plenty of room for a t style or a larger pass side kickout under the starter. Looks like an easy fix. You don't need to much shortened off of it as it looks like the cross member is going to take the hit after the pan.

I realy wish i had a dry $ump,lol.i had no trouble loading in the trailer so it'll be ok.the bars stay on the car all the time and it'd take a hard hit to get the pan i think

Update! The crank is good! I gota get pics of the bearing leftovers,this crank is a tuff sob

I believe I would have the machine shop check the crank out good and check the rod to that is one ugly looking bearing

X2 Lee that bearing looks rough or what's left of a bearing!

the crank had some bearing junk on it but it polished off the rod would resize but i think if i can buy one i will.

How much metal was in the pan ? What about the other bearings ?
