yep works wonders to, I installed it and got Even more OIL PSI

wonder why GM losers discontinued it... Ignorant people complaining.

anyways i made my own tool to get the harmonic balancer on, I got the motor together, adjusted the roller rockers, Got everything Wired up and the ypipe back onto the exhaust.
and put some oil in the car, just some cheap crap to get the Engine assembly grease out, so all thats left is putting the radiator in the car. And finish the suspension, Then take the car around the block HOPEFULLY if my dad lets me, Then hes gonna rip out my old rear end and put in my new 3.73 rear end, Hopefully as well Ill be able to make it to the M&G

oh yeah and i almost forgot finish my electric water pump and wire it up. haha

[Kwazrollinz28]

Almost forgot i'll be starting the car tomorrow, I cant take video though because car will only be running for 10 seconds. because of no coolant. i just want to make sure the damn thing starts and i have oil pressure for once.


i would of started it tonight but my dad hid the tune, and the neighbors wouldnt like loud cammed v8 lol

and my idle went from 650 to 850-900 since i dont need it as low with a Actual lopey cam unlike my 502 cam.

That's back asswards that you got more oil PSI using the oil cooler. Not necessarily saying you should be getting less but all I've ever heard is that people get more oil pressure when they remove the oil cooler. Mine never had one when I got it and it's two less connections with the radiator and water pump that I have to worry about.

Why don't you get the coolant into it so you can run it for more than 10 seconds? If you have to wait till tomorrow (today) anyway, might as well get what you need and do it right.

[Kwazrollinz28]

rather make sure the car runs good. then ill start installing stuff.
And i had better oil pressure because my old pump was bad, so the cooler the motor ran the motor oil pressure i had. but either way im going to keep it because a colder running motor is a better running motor.

as much as your doing right now in the short amount of time you can pull it off and still have time to detail!

Look how far you came already in a week.

[Kwazrollinz28]

the good and the bad.

The good,
the 306 cam Is pure badass. I LOVE it even idling at 1000rpm instead of my 502 cam at 650rpm it ROMPS like a pissed off bull. and the 502 cam barely romped.
NO LEAKS !!!!!
70PSI oil pressure at idle with crappy cheap oil ( cheap oil was used just to clean out the assembly lube.)

The bad.
power steering and A/c are a pain in my ass To hook up while in the car.
And didn't help someone bent my A/c line and didn't say anything. so i had to rebend it.

[meissen]

Congrats on that, Steve. How'd someone bend the AC line? I thought you were the only one doing the work?

[Kwazrollinz28]

my dad probably stepped on them while in the garage. we were doing ceiling work

[Kwazrollinz28]

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I heard it fired up, where are the vids!

[Kwazrollinz28]

Lol is that what mario said

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I was informed that you started it for him when he was there

[Kwazrollinz28]

could be haha... I'm not posting any videos if i think i can make it to the M&G. if i cant i'll be sure to post some, IF you want to come over you can, My camera sucks At recording sound.

[98blackbeauty]

I hope you can get it done in time.

[Kwazrollinz28]

I hope you can get it done in time.

i just got the engine bay done, Bleeding the coolant lines, And checking for leaks, Probably gonna have to redo one rocker on the passenger side though its clicking a little.

Other then that i have To run power to the electric water pump other then me running it straight to the battery for now lol.

But Im being held up by the rear end now, And the Top shock mount in the front i cannot paint in this Humid weather AT ALL!!!
