On the previous block oil plate I drilled the 8 holes required and will drill this one too for future use. I’ll look at fitment with the headers as I also have a 90 degree adapter I can use.

When insay that I mean I’m using a high volume pump with standard pressure spring. I bought the high pressure spring but see no need to install it.

Her are my 1/2” pump/pickup tube mods done so far to the high volume low pressure oil pump. On my setup the heads will be oiled through #2 and 4 cam journal holes as done by factory. The crossover tube I installed will be feeding Pass. side tappet gallery and feed #1 main/rod. Supposedly slowing...

Yes, all holes were opened up previously. It’s a 76’ LA 360 block .030 over. I’m using Sidewinder heads so they will have stock style oiling to roller rocker arms. A vid showing the heads/port work.

More progress in the oil mod saga. Practice, family clip intermission, and final product in block I plan to use. Trippin out that original block was already drilled. Accurate Engine service is where I had the block bored .030 over but had no idea anything else was done.

Flow Tech 2 Cylinder Heads

Oiling updates on mistakes made and subsequent failure trying to fix it. Imma bout to get this. lol

Future projects. I plan to retire in a little over a year so I’ll be spending plenty of time in the garage. ;-)

Ordered those, picked up legit 1/2” and 3/8” mpt pipe taps from napa, 3/8” o.d. steel tube also from Napa, 9/16” drill bit and some pipe fittings from Home depot, then ordered a 45/64” bit off ebay. Should be good to go when it all comes in and be set for retirement on tooling. LOL I’ve now...

I’m having hell trying to find proper fittings and taps to build the crossover. Just Spent 30m in the back parts aisle of Autozone sifting through brake line tubing/fittings and never came up with something I could use. Been to Home depot, Lowes, and O’reilly, and Tractor Supply too. Bought...

Read these 2 pages. You are given 2 options to upgrade oiling system. One is restrict flow and open passages so it goes where you want it by tubing galleries....... The other is to close off #1 main gallery feed to passenger side and install crossover tube to feed #1 bearing and drivers side...

Just got my new 18650 pickup tube and was surprised to see it only has a 3/8" npt fitting on the inlet. I re-read this post and now see that you modified yours for the 1/2" fitting and it does not come that way. I will do the same after drilling out the pump.

My 74 block was 2.26” into the hole from bottom of block/main surface upwards.

Just like the difference from the 74 block to 76’. One has the valvetrain oil feed holes drilled to 1/4” and the other is over 5/16” all the way to cam.

I don’t plan to junk it. It sat for 20yrs under my work bench. Still contemplating a way to fill it and run dry block/wet heads in a drag situation. Got lots of other projects to keep me busy while I ponder. lol Along with lots of drilling/taping practice yet to do.
