Re: Now the plumbing begins
Can't put the pump on the other side ? That is going to be a major pain

Bigger, faster, and stronger is the only way to go.
I just got the engine back in mine yesterday afternoon and am waiting on a few small details to finish getting it back going too.

Re: Now the plumbing begins
the trans works great . it's the converter guy's that we have had problems with !! tell them what you have for power and a 5000 stall ends up being a 6190 stall with 15 % slip out the big end on motor!!!

Put HyTran in it that'll tighten it up some. Did you get your new converter yet?

Hytrans wont fix that, a new converter builder will though.

Stainless is a fuggin pain. And trying to do a flaired stainless line... fogetaboutit. I guess maybe with a little heat it would have been better/easier.
Talk about some brittle stubborn metal to work with. Does look pretty when done right, but that takes a lot of patients and usually has to involve a lot of waste to make all them tiny lines right and pretty.

Re: Now the plumbing begins
the trick with stainless is to heat it red hot with a torch then let it cool , then it flairs and bends like mild steel only a little tougher
