Just to remind you about the lifter bore , Rodger @ Jon Kaase said with the better material on the block that the lifter seize up cause of lack of oil in the casting so they recomend bronze bushing. Don't want to see that happen to you & have to spend more to fix it. I have the Eliminator Block that good for 2500 + HP. I'm gong to twin 88 or 91 Turbos. I have the A-460 heads & 9.0-1 Diamond piston with JKR Turbo cam. But I like to sell the heads , piston & cam to Buy The BOSS 9 heads or BLUETHUNDER THOR GEN. 2 , to do something different.
Thanks & GOOD LUCK on the Build.

Hey gerry, I'll be too fast to hang out with denaro.

Hey bruno, I hope ur right, but for now I'll have to cross that bridge when and if I get to it. I'm really hoping I can be as fast as you and gerry:D

deliveredfast...the oil pan on your beast, is that the moroso eliminator pan? what for oil pump are you using? thanks Jason

Hey Jason, yes it is the moroso eliminator. I was trying to hide what I was using for my oil pump. It is hv melling. But I knew some of the guys would jump on me for not using the better kaase oil pump. I'll upgrade next year.

charles you dont need no stinking kaase pump a melling will be fine - i waisted 500 $ on the jeff johnson pump and its no better then a stock one

i dont want to start a pissin match with Gerry but i would definetly get a kaase pump .... my oil pressure has never been this rock solid before ...less money the the jeff johnson billet .... but worth every penny ...just my .02:)

btw the way yalls cars with the a-head deals should have me covered by 4-5 tenths on motor :)
