I've got a C9OE block that I'd let you have pretty cheap Frank. It will need some machine work, (Its been sitting and has surface rust) but its a 69 block and the ribbing and walls are twice as thick as the 80's blocks.

sorry to hear that your oil pressure is gone.


what tranny set up do you have? convertor, stall speed, brake?

 

Ahhhh no oil pressure aint that bad! I drive like that every day


True story, ask Ray or Tommy.



Hopefully you get it all figured out soon, goodluck Frank.

 

That car has been hauling for some time now. If it is the block at least it was not with a bang at the big end.

 

Well, here's the little ******* causing my no oil pressure problem.....




It's the main oil galley plug..... I still have no idea why it didn't collaspe the lifters at all????? The bearing don't even look too bad, just a little scuffed..... I am going to take it apart replace thread the damn galley holes, clean everything up and put it back together with some new bearings..... Oh yeah, I need too make sure the cam bearings are still ok too.....

 

Do you have a crankcase vac/press gauge on it? Curious if positive pressure pushed it out

 

Sure don't.....

 

?????????????????

 

I think Frank builds his own top secret C4's ....purty sure he doesnt have a brake

 

Homebuilt Rollerized C4, some cooling mods, lots of lightened and polished components but no trans brake..... I am using a Redneck 9.5" 3000 Converter, just one of there eBay $345 to your door specials.....
