Thanks.

I try to do things right. Starting with this an get the truck right. I then may go to more cubes in a few years.

I ditched the steel roller cam button for a nylon easier to set clearance with it.

Re: My BBC couple pictures.

I sure would like to start on it again. But, it is 21 degrees outside an I am on call this weekend an worked half the night last night. I do not even feel like firing the heater up. So, it is going to wait I guess.

I ended up going with the M77 pump. Changed out the spring in favor of the high pressure spring. Had the M77HV pump but changed my mind on it. Still have it setting on the table in the box.

I have always used the M77 an never had a problem. "So if it's not broke don't fix it". I heard the argument on both sides. I decided to go with what I know an have always done.

Re: My BBC couple pictures.

I've used both and can only recommend the HV if you are running an oil pan with a capacity of 8+ quarts, this from experience of course.

Re: My BBC couple pictures.

Thats the thing on the Big block a little more pressure is better than the Hvolume pump and less of a power robber too.

That is what I was thinking too. But, I can see it both ways. I just went with what I have always done.

Re: My BBC couple pictures.

I have been kicking my self the last few months for not going with a std pump. I get little annoying leaks. Pushing 60psi when cold and around 45-50 when warm. I may replace mine soon.
