    Quick question- What size is the oil galley plug on the front face of the block?

    So, my question is... oh. I guess I already asked it. Anybody know? It's either 5/8x18, or M16x1.5. ...i think.

    Project Super Slow

    Wow. THAT motor won't be used again. ever. I have read that the W58 tranny is fine up to 300hp. I used to have that setup with the gte(260hp), and it was quick. The car looks even better with the black and white photos- can't even tell that it's not one color. :)

    Well, if you use head bolts, you don't engage the threads as far down as they go. Dunno if the studs thread down further, but using a bottom tap hits those dark scary places. Oil driveshaft, oil pump and Arizona performance supply pipe, done. Oh- forgot: I also had my machine shop mill down...

    Thanks. It's kind of a candy apple color from VHT. Had to order it because none of my local auto parts stores seemed to carry it.

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1 through5- ***14 YEARS....Approaching the finish line!!!***

    So, I go to begin engine assembly today, and I realize that I can't really trust my old craftsman 1/2" drive torque wrench any more, as I had noticed that when I set it to like 40 ft-lbs, it would just keep torquing, and not click. So I didn't want to use it without having it calibrated first...

    7mgte very low vacuum???

    I don't think the engine is supposed to idle at stoich, I would expect it to be leaner than that. How is power output? I'm wondering if there's a possibility that one of your cams might be off a tooth on timing.

    transmission mount questions?

    What he said. Not sure exactly what you mean by 'bang', but if it's a busted tranny mount or worn center support bearing, jabbing the throttle or letting off results in a 'clunk' in my experience.
