I really like it! Glad your motor problem turned out not to be be something serious.
What brand of paint did you use?

jwalk · 06-19-2010, 09:47 PM

Thanks guys! The paint is a base clear. The brand is BASF diamont. This is what I've used for the past eight years. Really nice product.

I've heard of guys brazing the pickup tube to the oil pump, I guess it's not a bad idea seeing what happened to your engine. Hope your big block is o.k.

I weld all the ones i build even in my moms 3.1 liter

jwalk · 06-19-2010, 11:20 PM

Yeah I weld all of mine! This one was welded, just poorly.

scotts62 · 06-20-2010, 10:35 AM

Yeah you got lucky on that man it could have been a lot worse

Where did you get those those are killer looking but how do they sound??

jwalk · 06-27-2010, 12:29 AM

Thanks. I got them at a truck shop in Oklahoma City. They actually sound like a train…maybe not as loud, but they're loud enough for me to get in trouble with.

scotts62 · 06-27-2010, 11:16 AM

Thats cool!!!

JohnC · 06-28-2010, 08:44 AM

That's awesome!

sgaylord · 06-28-2010, 02:03 PM

Good find on the pickup. I, like you, would have thought you would have lost all oil pressure when it fell off. I guess you had enough oil in the pan to keep the pump submerged. How's your oil pressure now? Any difference before and after the incident?

Oil pressure seems good now…about 20 at idle (after warmed up) and close to 50 running down the highway on a 100 degree day. Pretty much the same as before.

Sorry to bring up a old thread. I was wondering if you remember the backspacing on your 15x8 wheels?
