Finally got the pan and pump. The pump looks killer. I will finally get to use that dual remote filter I bought years and years ago.

This is a close-up of Indy's cover...

A view of the oil pump suction side...

The start of my basket case 401 motor...

Talk about an oil leak!! Oops...thank good that wasn't the womans kitchen floor!! #-o

Indy heads Vs. stock heads

Of course the stock heads just didn't look good enough for me so...

before

after

So far, the parts list is coming along fine, waiting on bushings for rods to fit Kieth Black pistons(10.5 to 1) Trying to decide if I am going to get a better crank dampener, the moter not going to be turned over 6000RPM but will be balanced. Anybody done an internal balance on a AMC before?

Cower said with this cam, it should put out 470 to 490hp...that NOT including the Total Seal rings, crank scraper or the porting on the heads. Which I guess should put me into the 500hp range pretty easy.

I'm running an offy intake with 2 edelbrock 600's. :razz: The block is getting bored 30 over and drilled for the Indy oil pump. I got the rings (Total Seal) the other day. All in all this should be one killer motor for supporting the Arab Empire. :t:

I could put it in my Javelin

But just for fun 111!!! I'm putting it in my $400 J10 and going to the fairs to pull and for unsuspecting people at the stoplights :!:

Well Chevy 4X4's .... 8) Ha ha ha ha :?
