Hey JC - My dad mentioned the oil pan issues... it looks like they put an SBC oil pan on there.

93-97 LT1 Oil pan (note the square bottom below the timing cover area)


"86-98 SBC Chevy V8 Oil Pan"
(note how it's more circular)

looks good but it looks like ya got a bit of paint on the tires Keep up the good work, JC!

[MunsterZ28]

love the car man its a very cool build. keep up the great work and black rims FTW

[Darren]

Cant blame ya there man, money is tight everywhere! I actually dont mind the flat black look, lol. Would not bother me to showcase that for a little while the funds are being saved up!

After this build i wont have the money for a new paintjob anytime soon unfortunately but its definately on the to-do list! before the M&G im just going to re-do the whole car with new flat again just so it looks solid and nicely done..for primer that is.

[Darren]

The rims themselves look great, i'd want to see a full car picture with them on before I can say if I like them on the car. Are you going glass black on the car too or leaving it the flat black for a while?

Goin murdered out?

I like it!

What do you guys think about the new~ish wheels.
just sanded em primed em gloss black painted and put clear wheel coating on them.

Well easiest and cost efficiant way of solving that dilemma was to go to my machinist and gave him my high vol pump for a new stock type pump by moroso. problem solved.
now i realized i lost the cps reluctor .. so yeah one problem after another

[Kwazrollinz28]

only thing stopping me from my new cam is a oil pan for my new pump.

[meissen]

Honestly dude until you can get that deeper oil pan I'd be afraid of running it - those high volume oil pumps are known for sucking the pan dry and with the money you obviously spent in the build up not having the right oil pump would be scary.

oh!
and if anyone can sell me a flexplate for real cheap that would be awesome.
