Well, one, the pan that did fit is in pieces. Big stroke, means you need big clearances. Not easy finding stuff that clears 4.75 in a Mopar.

Two, the oil pressure issue, I think, is block related. We have a hell of a time with oil pressure and since day 1, somthing has not been right. I think we need some BGR help though. Left AJ a message. Might even take it down there and see what is up with one of the passages in it...

On a side not, the 400/512 testing results were about the same. Still has a miss in the upper rpm we have now concluded is a bent valve...Still netted a couple of 6.30's with a 1.39 60ft shifting at 5k....

Heads will be coming off this week...I want to do a leak test and see if it shows up somewhere...
