She sounds good.. Revs nice and fast! Do you still have the motor?

[Star]

cool:)

[jdrags10]

Yeah it's the motor I'm putting together now. Only it will be new and improved.

[Mezmorized]

55 psi oil pressure cold at idle... What would it drop down to once it warmed up?

[jdrags10]

40 psi at 180 degrees at 1500 rpm but at 2000 it would shoot back up. Oil pressure is all in the bearing clearances and oil viscosity. To make a motor live you want it to circulate. Not dead head. Side clearance on the rods is a big key that alot of people don't check. At 7500 it ran about 80-85. I was running 10-40 oil. Rule of thumb is 10psi for every 1000 rpm.

forgive my ignorance, but what were a couple of specs on the old setup?

[jdrags10]

What specs you wanting to know?
413 sbc with brodix 11x heads solid roller cam lots of nitrous.

[85cam]

dats enough! LOL
Really quick revving motor! I hope mine revs that fast

[jameskirk1]

Every time I've pulled the trans for any reason I'll start mine with just the flexplate...sounds like an indy car LOL

(now that I think of it I should video it and freak some people out :D)

That was with the tranny in it. I would hate to do that on my motor. Did it one time with the old carb when I first built it and it hit the 8000 chip. Decided that wasn't good on it
