After the water lines were complete, we loaded up the motor and mocked it up in the car to get the layout of the oil lines. Because we moved the oil pump to the right side, we will need to run the lines around the front of the motor.

Check out how much material has been removed from the back of the block. This was the way a lightened block comes from Brodix.

Not much room to work with for the 2 oil lines that need to pass to the right side. They will run behind the rack and below the ballancer.

The scavenge line running fom the lifter valley was tricky. Ed machined a spot in the block for the line to pass through.

and to the pump

One of 3 scavenge lines from the pan.

The motor made a trip to Brown & Miller for the other 2 lines.

The other line that you see in the above picture going into the pan is for the piston oilers.

Looks great Payton! Puts Dave's motor to shame.

No. Not unless the guys at Cortex measure his subframe and find it was built with a couple extra inches of wheelbase.

Having the word "grenade" written on your intake seems like a bad omen.

Dave's motor and mine are about the same minus my Aluminum block. His actually runs and mine is an empty shell. Pistons did come in last week though, so I am not far behind.

I am the only guy with extra inches...in the wheelbase department.

Did not notice the "grenade" until I posted the pictures. Motor guy, Ed Lesley, his shop is called Grenade Engines. Funny stuff.

Potentially, yes.

I got a few rounds left in me.

That would be a game ender at this point.

Grenade... heh... I always thought that too.

Ed is a good dude... got a bunch of my dry sump parts and accessories from him. Payton should be in good hands there.
