Re: My BBC couple pictures.

Re: My BBC couple pictures.

I try to do things right. Starting with this an get the truck right. I then may go to more cubes in a few years. I ditched the steel roller cam button for a nylon easier to set clearance with it. |

Re: My BBC couple pictures.
I sure would like to start on it again. But, it is 21 degrees outside an I am on call this weekend an worked half the night last night. I do not even feel like firing the heater up. So, it is going to wait I guess.

Re: My BBC couple pictures.
I've used both and can only recommend the HV if you are running an oil pan with a capacity of 8+ quarts, this from experience of course.

Re: My BBC couple pictures.
Thats the thing on the Big block a little more pressure is better than the Hvolume pump and less of a power robber too.

Re: My BBC couple pictures.
I have been kicking my self the last few months for not going with a std pump. I get little annoying leaks. Pushing 60psi when cold and around 45-50 when warm. I may replace mine soon.
