I should probably start a build thread (more like refurbish thread- not much fab work required, just bringing a 10 year old racecar up to date).

Emailed Holley and they said that one is a direct fit for the pumps, it's sitting at the border, won't be able to get it for another week, won't be able to put it in at least for two months

If they wrapped it in a burkha, it would get there with no issues.

Wilwood 13' 6 piston brakes, 11in Wilwood rear brakes, BE&A 1970 Cuda grill, enough paint and supplies to restore two cars, another e-body project and a custom front suspension for one of my cars. Now just have to see if I can get a third job and work the dept away. Nice, I just installed those front brakes and the 12.2" rear kit.

Cool, that's what was recommended for my type of driving environment. I was thinking of updating the pads they came with, which ones are you using? I'll use the pads they came with until they aren't enough. The car needs to drive under it's own power first.

You evidently had one he*l of a big tree.
Watch carefully that Road Race oil pan if you attempt to torque bolts to recommended 15 pounds. You will severely dimple it,,depending on gasket you use.
I ended up building a girdle that encircles the pan of 1/8th thick stock steel that goes between pan and bolt heads. Highly recommended. I believe that someone is now selling a kit.
Do this right, you should not need any of the silicone sealers that inhibits the removal next time. do you know where these kits are sold? I'd love to get one, I've already had to remove my pan 3 times since I got it and the silicone is a PITA to remove, also why hasn't milodon made a reuseable gasket for the big block yet? they have them for the small block...

Not sure why you are using RTV on a BB oil pan gasket. The stock paper gaskets have always worked for me. But here you go: http://www.manciniracing.com/marareoilpan1.htmlUnless you absolutely have to have a Milodon oil pan gasket.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Rumor has it that Hughes has em. Forum member jbc426 told me last evening he just bought one. Says looks real fine. Oh yes, he also told me that his Milodon oil pan was dimpled badly when he recently tore his 496 stroker down for a bit of a refresh. That's why he bought the kit. Here's what I built for mine a couple years ago. My Road Race had dimpled, straightened it out, used my little fix, torqued bolts to recommended 15 pounds,,studs at rear main retainer,,,long story here,,,,used no silicone and pan does not leak.
