"I really doubt it has anyting to do with your filter location. Actually it is a good idea before the pump just to save it from getting dirt in it. Also too, you said your problem is on intial start up, not after it has been run for a while. Unless…"

"500HP is an easy reality with a big block. You wont need a lot of radical parts either. I dont know enough about your heads though, I am terrible at casting numbers. But on what you have asked. On connecting rods, it all depends on what your plans…"

"Glad you got it figured out Arthur! I am even more surprised that I helped! That does make sense though, going back a year. Sounds like you wont be long in having it back to life then

Kevin Lee replied to Arthur Hoge's discussion One Piece Oil Pan Gasket in the group engines
"I will be honest, I didnt know that GM made a 2 piece rear main after 1986. I thought they were all 1 piece rear main by 1992. The pan sealed to the rear cap on the 2 piece, which it was smaller than the 1 piece. If your local dealership still has…"

"Scott, the best performance upgrade for that car is to put in a 5.0! Ford had a LOT of problems with that engine, why it is so hard to find parts for it like Arthur said. Back in the day, Ford was even offering a swap kit so you could drop in a…"

"Well, Impala did mention looking for Pantydropper, so I thought I should look for them too, LOL"
Kevin Lee commented on Gearhead's group MUSCLECAR
"Grampy is right Impala, a crank kit with bearings, and a balancer is the minimum needed to fix it. Since you dont race it, I agree also that you dont have to go crazy and put in a performance crankshaft. This is one thing i do worry though. It…"

"Sorry that I was right JP. But I am glad you found the problem. Summit should take it back though. You might even ask to upgrade to the MSD"
Kevin Lee commented on Gearhead's group MUSCLECAR
"JP, I never have used one of those distributors, so I am not up on their electronics. But it very well could be a signal error between that dist and the new module. If you dont want to go the expense of a performance didt like a MSD, what I would do…"

"Chiseum, they were 2.2L turbo engines. Most were 5spd manuals, would have to check on the trans code though."

"Nice clean job on the engine compartment Arthur. and are they ever done? I know with me they are not, always come up with something new to want to do!
JP, I had been reading on your dilemma here. What I find interesting is that it ran OK BEFORE the…"

"Bruce, there are too many variables, like what kind of vehicle you are working on, and what kind of scan tool you are using. Some manufacturers will give you datastream during cranking, some dont. If you are using a cheaper brand generic scan tool,…"

Rick "The Arsonist" Bacon said… - Kevin-
As far as steering wheels with airbags go, there isn't too many choices. Because of liability issues with the bags, nobody is willing to tackle it. The cost of the insurance to produce 'em would be crazy! Most guys I have seen just remove the bags and wheel, and install an aftermarket wheel. Not real good for safety, but if you're going for pure looks... Another option is check with Grant. They make some steering wheel covers that don't look bad. The leather wheel in my Mustang was worn, and they wanted a LOT for a new one. So I got a Grant cover for about $50 and it's all good.

Kingman Kid said… - You are right Kevin, Maybe I could jump back in and at least offer a different perspective without p****** too many people off...LOL Sorry to say, I can't find your engine specs, however, if you would get them to me once again, I will look in to a few cam options for you.
Take Care

- Hey Kevin, How have you been?
Regarding that 12:1 engine suggestion, it is obvious that the guy knows and understands engine building, however, to suggest such a package and then state how he thinks the system can be beat for smog controls is JUST WRONG in my opinion.
I started to help the guy out and then basically got jumped on, so, I backed out to see where this leads. Don't know how I would be interpeted if I jumped back in now and made different suggestions?
Maybe I will just to read the other guys comments about me...LOL
As for your cam on the Pro-Charger Engine, what specs were you looking for? If I can be of help...just let me know
Jerry
