I found the culpret tonight. It was the piece inside the pan welded on the pass. side to help control oil sling. It was hitting up front a bit. Took a hammer and tapped it down for clearance. Dropping the pan was really easy. Loosened the mounts and lifted the motor about an inch, the crank was in the right location and it just fell out!!! It went back in just as easy. Tomorrow the starter and pass header and we will try it again!!!!!

Awesome!

What's your next step?

Are you going to get it tuned?

Dyno?

Track?

PM me when you do. I'll probably join you. I haven't been to the track yet either. Curious how close we'd be.
