We run the H bearings, and Mobil 1 15w-50. Engine looks great, bearings are super. Just wondering if I can free things up a bit...


Erik, I run my Ford mains loose, usually about 3. Guess it works on a Chevy, too. With the Super Stock and a Chevy, we will be stuck running the GM Powder rods, do they like the extra side clearance, too???

Now, because of loophole in the rules, we are considering a 360 Chrysler engine..... Engine builder is figuring out some combinations for us now... Will be interesting to look at them. It's all going to come down to horsepower and torque we can make within the very confining rules. That, and a potential new sponsor talking some major $$$$ with a Mopar in the car....
