How are you peeps wiring up your EWP?

Also, any other suggestions for some break in oil?

[meissen]

I forgot about the oil Brian mentioned. If you didn't want to go with just standard store-brand oil, I'd definitely go with what Brian was recommending. I think out of most of us he has the most experience with engine rebuilds

I was told to run Rotella T in mine and it worked just fine.

Brad Penn is really good stuff too like Brian mentioned, I know an engine builder who swears by the stuff. If it was more readily available that's what I would have used for mine too but I was in a hurry.

I have heard great things about the Brad Penn, but yes I haven't found anyone that stocks it and I have heard it's quite expensive.

Sounds like I'm gonna need the leave against that built motor monster with my stock motor car.

Newly built meaning recent stock rebuild. Shouldn't you be gutting a car somewhere?

I could strap 300lbs of lead in my shit and still gap your roach.

IMO its not that expensive.
Penn Grade 1 (high zinc) is a partial synthetic- 0w30, 10w30, 10w40, 20w50 the list price is $6.49 but my work sells it for $6.00 a quart.
They also make a full synthetic 5w30 meets dexos 1 standards. (Comparable with mobil 1) that we sell for $5.00 quart

Here is a good read about there break in oil

Oh, I didn't realize it was that cheap, I thought it was more.

Installed the torque arm, the rearend just got shifted up so we gave it a good yank and the torque arm fell into place.
Extended passenger O2
Installed ac compressor
Routed belt
Tightened down k member good
Tied back loose wires that were close to the headers
Installed dust shield
Connected and routed wheel speed sensors or maybe abs sensors?





We have left to do:
Wire up ewp
A few brake lines, nothing big
Adjust rockers
Tighten trans lines (suggestion?) crows foot maybe? Fronts are good but rears blow

Need to buy:
Aftermarket intake elbow asap!
Shifter linkage nut. I set mine down, who knows where. What size is it?
Tires
Coolant, how many gallons?
Oil
Trans fluid, how many quarts?

Should have it running tomorrow night. Idle vid to follow
