Is 1 year old really old for an oil pump? I didn't think so? I know it's not something to screw around with though. ?

And I said timing gear.... if the gears look good we will reuse (this was Mike's call), but yes a new chain will be purchased. :thumbsup:

X2, no brainer there.....and when you throw out the old pump be sure to hold on to the pick up. :unibrow:

New engine to me means new oil pump and new timing set.(Gears & Chain) Failures by either leads to huge expense vs. the low cost to replace them.

How hot did you get that engine. :D

Geeze just dry sump it. :D

Here's a good source for a proper pump. He's almost next door.

Keep getting me on that overheat job eh? :lol:

Yeah I think you're right and Mike will probably say that once he sees my junk parts. :D

Man I guess I haven't priced pumps in awhile... yeah that's cheap. Ok you guys convinced me. That wasn't so hard was it. Thanks :woot:

Sometimes you just can't control timing and some parts landed in my lap that I just could not pass up. Good thing the guy takes layaway. Thanks Larry if you're reading! :D

My current subframe with all the goodies is pretty much sold so I guess it's in motion now. :rolleyes:

Here's the goods:

Jake's Rod Shop Apex C6 subframe
6 way Bilsteins front and rear (might upgrade to double adj)
1.25" splined sway bar
Jake's torque arm

Of course this triggers lots of other discussions and decisions to make. I think I'll end up with a Moser or Speedway Floater (using my existing Wilwood brakes front/rear) and a dry sump has entered back into the discussion again.

What is completely up in the air at this point is timeline. It is possible I miss Buttonwillow in September, but if that's the way it has to be for this car to get real serious and solid and safe, then so be it. I wanna get things solid and right with this car before I really start going fast. I haven't been 100% comfortable with my stock sub, 12 bolt with c clips, and a few other things.

I might not have a car at BW in Sept, but I will damn sure be there regardless. :thumbsup:

Not in my possession yet but deposit paid and I'll pick it up in the next month or two. Ok lemme have it. :lolhit:

How can I be a copy cat when I'm actually going to install the stuff? :wow:

You owe me a phone call, Jerky. :)
