In the process of pulling the engine back out. I will check all the bearings. I have a pretty extensive knowlage of SBC's but this is the first time I have gone this deep into one on my own. I grew up with my dad and uncles building hot rods and I've had a bunch of clunkers over the years (Lots of experance there) and some hot rods. I have replaced heads and cams on several other engines. But the first time I have had a crank machined.

I did take for granted that the machine shop gave me the right parts, it will never happen again.

I still have my high volume pump and I would like to use it. Is there anything there I should know. Like do I need a bigger oil pan? I like a lot of oil pressure too.

Thanks
