10/30 mobile1,full roller motor though, I use to use 20/50 VR1 when I had a flat tappet.

Check Rockauto on pricing, I bought my 2 piece floor pan from them due to the shipping was 1/4 what most places were charging = cheaper total cost.

Does your motor really need 20/50 oil in it, 10/40 or 10/30 will put a lot less load on that dist gear?

Get one of each of these and put an in line pcv in it and hook it to manifold vacuum, have both of these for my 348 when it gets built.

There are 2 different height blocks?

Cut the intake side of the heads instead of the intake,otherwise that intake will most likely only fit on that motor combo,also allows you to try a different intake if you want.

Some progress pics of the bottom of the car/frame on the lift.

I have a Hydraulic roller ground by Chis Straub in the 468 in my 70 Chevelle,very pleased with how the motor runs.

The stock small journal motor connecting rods are weaker than the large journal and have smaller rod bolts 11/32" vs 3/8"

I tried a set of late 60's vintage 14x7 wheels and they hit my tie rod ends, I picked up a set of 15x6 wheels from a wagon that don't hit.Just my 2 cents.

I had a 70 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 back in the late 70's that had 4.10's and a 4 speed, that motor really came on at 3500 revs and pulled hard to about 6300 revs,It was stock except for a set of headers and a Torker intake.

Recovery is going good should be back to full use in a couple of months,my ambition is like a roller coaster but it feels good to see some progress.

Made some progress on the car after 6 months of downtime due to an injury/surgery,finished the last of the sand blasting and painted the floor,also picked up a 1958 tripower with original carbs.

Nice job Brian,I am jealous as mine isn't even half done after 1 1/2 years.
