385 Revisited

I went ahead and bought the Moroso 6 quart pan. It does have the "trap door thingies" even at $160

Got a high volume pump, and remembered the shaft too

Lol, I think "trap door thingies" should be the offical name now.

Nice looking car!!! Good luck with the motor buildup!

Cool, Pick up a windage tray and crank scraper and you'll be all set

Looking good, sounds sweet. Can't wait to start working on mine!!!!

I am using the exact same thing on my 383.
I still had to make a custom Y-Pipe though, let me know how it fits up.

Ok, cool....my dad is a master tech so hopefully we can sneak it into the dealership on the weekend for the swap, and take care of any pipe bending/fabricating there.

That is cool.
It has to be far better than my prototype Y-Pipe I had to make using a series of cutting and welding. Access to a pipe bender would have made my life a heck of a lot easier.

Yeah I need a new one myself, the one the muffler shop made is crap, plus its all dinged up.

Here is what you need: http://lt1tech.com/cgi-bin/ultimateb...;f=13;t=004068

600.00 for AFR 190's

They work well on 383's I know

[Plantfoam]

Wow, thanks for the heads up...hopefully he still has them, and hopefully they have the right size chambers. If so, I owe you a steak.

[Phantom409]

And all the fix'ns
Not a problem.
Those have been there a while, like 2 months
I can't belive that he hasn't sold them.

I'm just trying to pick out a timing set right now, and I'm trying to figure out the difference between these 2 sets that COMP has on their site:

2100 Chevy Magnum Timing Set 65-400, '55-91 (Except w/ factory roller), V6 90° 200,229,262, '78-86 $33.94


2136 Chevy Magnum Timing Set, 305-350 '87-90 w/ factory roller, (4.3) 262, '87-92 w/ factory roller $120.8

So I take it that the first one is for non-roller blocks? I have a block with roller provisions, but it came with a flat tappet....I guess that's why I'm confused. I assume I need the more expensive one, lol. But anyways, I have a COMP magnum cam, so it has to be one of these.

[Plantfoam]

Never mind, it was #3136...it's all sorted out now

As for my heads....I'm ready to order them. Check this out:

Seems like an awesome deal, and they have a lot of the other stuff I need.

Still waiting on more parts to keep trickling in...Here's the engine as it stands:
