Fine Tuning a 360 Magnum with a Brawler "Double Pumper"

Well guys. Update, and not a good one. I royally screwed up my engine. I replaced my lifters with the Hughes 5007 lifters, ticking went away, but what I didn’t notice is that the intake manifold gasket on the driver bank slipped off slightly so it did not seal the rear coolant jacket, and it dumped coolant into my oil.

Engine ran fine yesterday for 15 minutes before I realized there was coolant in the oil (almost 2 gallons). Drained the oil, pushed it back into the garage and let it sit overnight while I waited for a new intake gasket. (I was hoping I got lucky as the engine was still running at the time).

New gasket on, added oil, started it up, ran for 5 seconds, died while making an awful screeching noise, and would not turn over. Plugs out, belt off, breaker bar on crank doesn’t turn engine over, and the starter does but it sounds like an old tractor with a dead battery.

Guess I have to pull the motor again.
