    Which oil pan for DSS Main Support?

    Looks like I will buy the Moroso once I figure out which one of those pickups listed on Summit would be best. I like the "Cobra" pan but it's just a little too expensive. I have too many additional parts I need to buy to be spending extra on an oil pan.

    Which oil pan for DSS Main Support?

    Where did you buy it from? It looks great - I also like your choice of engine paint. I'm really surprised a pan that deep (at the shallow end) clears the crossmember.

    Which oil pan for DSS Main Support?

    I've eyeballed this pan on ebay. It looks like it MIGHT be a little deeper on the shallow end. But I really don't want to buy something and then find out I can't use it. I asked the seller about it but never got a reply...

    Which oil pan for DSS Main Support?

    When they say a stock pan will fit, they must be referring to a late-model pan.

    Which oil pan for DSS Main Support?

    I have a '91 5.0 with a DSS Main Support. The stock oil pan won't fit because the ARP studs stick up a little too far. DSS sells an oil pan that might fit but they want about $300 for it. Anyone else have this setup and use some other manufacturers oil pan? I'm actually putting this in a '70...

    Question about bottom-end torque specs

    Awww jeez. Well thank goodness I asked these questions instead of just using the torque specs in my antiquated book. I messaged my buddy and he said 30W so I lucked out. I was just trial fitting my front sump pan and found it won't fit over the studs and girdle. Maybe I could persuade it...

    Question about bottom-end torque specs

    OOPS! I just noticed your "ARP specs" comment - do I need to torque them to a different spec because the bolts are ARP??? That might explain why they seemed to be torqued slightly tighter before I retorqued them. I thought it was just because they had been on there for a while (even thought...

    Question about bottom-end torque specs

    I got this long block from my buddy. It's from a project he and his brother had that had been sitting 10 years. Anyway, they stopped midstream and he's forgotten even what parts he had bought. He mentioned I should check that everything is torqued properly. Well, it appears things aren't...

    How much...

    Nobody can give you any useful info until you say what you are trying to end up with. You want to drag race or just a ho-hum motor for commuting? Sounds like you'll probably need another transmission, rear-end, radiator, springs, exhaust work, etc. All that stuff adds up. If you buy a new...

    Bought 5.0 - Questions about retrofit

    The guy I got the motor/tranny from is supposed to be taking inventory of the other parts he has so he can give me a price on them. He's got a Procharger, couple of intercoolers, GT40 intakes, 42 lb. injectors, etc. He bought the stuff years ago so he can't remember everything. If I buy the...

    Bought 5.0 - Questions about retrofit

    Ok, I'll definitely want to find a slinger then (along with a million other parts).

    Bought 5.0 - Questions about retrofit

    A slinger isn't really necessary? I'm just following along in my "rebuild your 289/302" book. If anybody has the serpentine stuff they'll sell for a reasonable price I'm interested. But I already have to get the clutch/bellhousing/yoke/shortened driveshaft/cable/quadrant/etc. Things can get...

    Bought 5.0 - Questions about retrofit

    I posted this over in the 5.0 section but then l realized it's more appropriate in this section because a lot of you guys are doing the same thing - putting a 5.0 in an older car.... I bought a '91 motor from a coworker. I'm going to put a carb, front sump pan and V-belt system on it. I am...

    Bought motor, have questions

    I bought a '91 motor from a coworker. I'm going to put a carb, front sump pan and V-belt system on it. I am looking at buying a 1963-1982 gasket set but I'm wondering if the timing cover gasket will work (I'm using a '91 timing cover and don't want to change covers because this one has already...
