Hope to have motor and trans on by next weekend. Anyone know what the oil priming procedure is for this motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammit Charlie Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I used assembly oil on major components, then unplugged the fuel pump. Hit the ignition until EOP can be seen. Oil took a few seconds and it worked like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2k2gt Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 The engine will not turn fast enough to build oil pressure. You just fire it up. Should have pressure in couple seconds. Where did they set the cams at? There is a 4V cam guru that is in Xenia. He also ports the intakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told him to set it at what he thinks is best for a na setup like mine. Thought about having the heads and intake ported but decided against it. Probably just run this motor for the year and either build the other block I have or do a coyote swap. Very tempted to try a 100 shot on this car. Never messed with nitrous so a little Leary on it.

I've had mine engine out way too many times and never had my chains jump. Did you provide them with adjustable gears or sprockets. Did they say they had to grind the key ways down?

Ryan218 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Got the motor and trans in the car last night. Ended up going in from the top. Long tubes and trans together.

Installed the tri-ax shifter put on the heater hoses, removed the old clutch cable setup, going to try and get the intake on the motor Sunday and the harness all hooked up. Getting closer! Also picked up some tires for weekend fun. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/ryan218/Mobile%20Uploads/image_24.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/ryan218/Mobile%20Uploads/image_26.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g226/ryan218/Mobile%20Uploads/image_27.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
