My first 235 build woes

[73kay]

Well after a few months of getting my 54 overhauled and and measuring and assembling, I finally had it painted Chevy orange (for now) and ready to drop in my 53. I had it modified for full oil filtering from inliners but totally overlooked the fact that the machinists didn't drill the return line big enough to 3/8 so it's still 1/8 and too small for all the return pressure from the filter. Fudge! So she's gotta come apart now. Live and learn. I was hoping to break her in this weekend...


Update Q: what would happen if my oil to filter was 3/8 but my return was 1/8? Besides a lot of pressure on the line, I'm just curious how that will affect the internal oil gallery pressures.
