F8L GT Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 It's been a rocky road with this build, but hoping to fire it up soon. Last fire up resulted in no oil pressure in left head. Found sludge blockage in oil port behind left tensioner. Now that it's all cleared up, she's almost ready to fire. Working on extending the wiring harness to hide it under the Edelbrock intakeGot some fittings today to make the fuel system full loop instead of dead heading after frps on drivers side railWorking in the engine harness.Barely made a dent in itThat's a lot of crapAC compressor wires goneStill have a lot to goEngine harness will connect under dash and come through the first firewall where the heater core use to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmage Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 do you have to use a different fuel pump too then? or can you stick with the 99+ one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I switched to an AEM E85 340 pump for the option of switching to corn later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperstang1994 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 your making this in to a return style system? or your just making the 2 fuel rails a continuous loop? basically feeding pressure from 2 sides instead of one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Started the car, had same issue as I had last fall when I started it which sounds like lash adjusters clanging. Pulled valve covers and started it, she's getting plenty of oil up top. With covers off it sounded like it might be deeper. So I grabbed the bore scope from my dad's shop and I'll pull the plugs and take a peak to see if the valves are hitting the pistons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
