Jerry, I have tried to answer your questions with 2 replies yesterday and all I got was a window saying "post pending moderator approval"
Its all moot point now, #3 cam bearing is wiped out. This block originally had a main journal that had either shifted .015" down or it was machined wrong back in 69. Regardless I had the block line bored/honed. That corrected the irregular wear on the main bearing, but guessing the center of the core has shifted and the center cam bearing hole is not line up any longer.
As for your questions.
Mech solid roller .600 lift, 1.5 rocker, 220# on the seat
Milodon 7qt pan with matching pickup tube, .375" from bottom of pan
7400 on the road driving the car (1-2 upshift)
Yes plug in block under rear main cap
Idles high because I have timing locked at 38 and any thing less it will die. If I lower my base and add swing to the dist, i can fatten it up and it idles @ 700rpm. I lock timing as thats where it runs best from stall to shift light
Removed O rings as block is not chamfered and it kept shearing them. Already had intake on..
Micrometers and telescopic snap memory gauges. Measured this time with crappy ole plasti gauge since already assembled. Lets hope this post actually shows up.
