Re: crankcase evac

Here's a pic of a moroso run with the cog type setup on my small block from the dragtruck. I ran -12 lines, with the fitting welded into the valve cover and the outlet side to one of the moroso cans.

Unfortunately to get a pump, the lines and fittings, the can, the pulleys and drive mandrel, you are talking about spending 800-900. That's tough to take for a 500 HP motor. You can probably find the same power somewhere else for less.

Best pass with the old dragtruck:
5.32 @ 131.6 mph 1/8 mile w/ a 1.25 60' Fogger/Plate 2003

Best pass with the street 406 hydraulic roller motor w/ mild plate tuneup
5.93 @ 114 mph 1/8 mile w/ a 1.29 60' 2003 or 2004

Re: crankcase evac

years ago, a friend of mine used a secondary air injection pump from a late model s-10. somehow, he rigged it to pull a vacuum instead of pump air and got it to suck a milk jug flat in less than a second. i'm guessing that's at least 10hg. who knows he never put a guage on it. he remote mounted it out of site. it seems to work great, and you can't even hear it running. anyway, jegs now sells a similar setup using what looks like the exact same pump. part number 555-52215k. sells for $465 for the kit.

A bit off topic, but how is or was that manual rack for steering, compared to original power and old style strong arm? Was thinking of going that route when I do a Fat Man front end. Maybe DJ could answer too with the extra BB weight on it.

When I originally installed it I had a BBC combo in it. It steers great and much better than the factory stuff.
