I really want to get an oil temp gauge installed for safety and I am switching over to methanol this winter and will need. Were do you guys install the oil temp probe on these motors?

The guy I bought the car and motor from finally sent me the engine builders name and number. Apparently he is a Mopar Top Sportsman racer so I am going to call him and find out the details on why clearances he built it for. Thanks for all of the replies.

explain yourself on the line size. Presure is presure, shouldn't matter what size the line is.

We have always ran vr1 20w50 in all of the big blocks we have raced as well. Another question: with the indy head oiling lines coming out of the rear of the block where can I install an oil temp gauge? I am switching over to alcohol over the winter and want to be able to monitor oil temperature.

it has a system 1 reusable filter so it is not going to do that. I am really not that concerned about how fast it is as it is a bracket car. Just don't want to have to worry about drive gear and cam.

that is what I was thinking but they guy we bought it from said that was normal from when he had the motor built. I am going to give the engine builder a call this afternoon and get the scoop from him.

Quick question: bought a used 451" motor that is fully race prepped. I won't go into specifics but when started and cold it pegs out the oil pressure gauge at over 110PSI. Typically it is still running over 80 psi at the finish line. Is this normal and adequate. Even when I didn't turn the fan...

The block is half filled with hard block, BME Aluminum Rods, around 15.5:1 compression with mild ported -1s. Not sure on power but runs 9.80s at 3080lbs in a ladder bar dart. Not sure what exactly the cam is either, builder won't spill the beans.

You need to switch over to B-1s to feed 540". Don't get me wrong the -1s are great and I am using them on a 451 myself but I would go B1 if i wanted to add cubes.
