Oil pump pickup and pan are on. Jim, I upgraded you to the big Moroso pan, no charge.

Water pump is on, balancer is on, head bolts have been re-torqued, and rocker arms are on.







Waiting on some oil to show up, then I'll prime the pump and make sure the oil goes everywhere it needs to go....then the intake will go on and the engine will be buttoned up.

Looks good, Brent. So 6-8 weeks till it's done?

Don't forget to remove that wrench from the balancer when you start it up.

Makes a hell of a racket.

For that size engine, I'd use the Air Gap. It will have more average power and torque.

How much do you want to spend on it? Porting a dual plane can get into some bucks.
