From 0 - 60 in less than 2 second...
My oil pressure went from 0 - 60 psi in less than 2 seconds when I cranked up the engine after installing my new braided oil pressure hose
Had a problem with the old hose which kinked and made the gauge read zero
psi oil pressure...

Took another drive with the new setup today... Both, engine and transmission work great.. I'm still afraid of punching the gas too hard because of my issues with the differential...

I'm actually planning on getting even more HP out of the engine.. I want to get a Edelbrock Super Victor 2825 (CNC ported) which should add another 20 HP or even more.. According to AR Racing, the Victor Jr. (even ported) has way too small runners for the heads that I'm running and recommends the Super Victor and also to have my carb flowed etc which should give me another 10 - 15 HP...

Your old motor nearly pegs my guage at 80
no kidding, I took a valve cover off one time to check the valve lash. I started it up and you should've seen the river of oil flowing up out of the rockers.

I told you when the rear was down to take the cover off and see what's going on in there. Maybe something minor, why it seems to lock-up once-in-awhile. And you tell me you did not want to have to buy another gasket for the cover
. You just probably wouldn't know what you are looking at once you opened it up or the tools to fix it (if it was something simple) 
I have given up
You call me and ask me advice & questions and when I answer you, you have these excuses why you don't do it. Still friends
But I am not 
anymore.I think you're afraid to "get on it"...

Maybe more since we're not at 1500 feet above sea level. Then again, the increased humidity might negate that gain.
This weekend however with the cold temps, who knows
