LOL, well, that is whats known for happening when you put a high volume oil pump in with the stock pan. No, but really.

I've got a Canton on mine. It says it's 6 quart but with the filter it takes 7.

i wish i could afford to buy a bigger oil pan at this point in time, money is getting pretty tight though

if anyone can lead me in the direction of one for a reasonable price that would be greatly appreciated though!

[.DetroitKing.]

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

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.

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

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

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.

Goin murdered out?

I like it!

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?

[.DetroitKing.]

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]

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!

[MunsterZ28]

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