customizing the top end of the engine, better cam/springs- dual plane air gap. also the crank is worn out, so I will buy new or reman.
My engine was a 100% complete L31, and I noticed that oil pan in center had more of a taper than drop step like 81 pan had. but my ? is answered ,and I will proceed. I wanted to run the 99 pan because it has a small windage tray inside I want to retain, and also I can just keep buying 99 engine parts :-) - thanks guys
