Machinist weighed it in at ~160#'s, you should have seen me wrestle that thing onto the engine stand and outta the bed of my truck by myself :D

I always have best luck painting it after it is fully assembled.

I love my dart block so good luck with yours. Are you going solid roller or with link bar lifters?

**5150 LX** · 12-03-2003, 10:04 AM

I've got the gold plated link bar lifters :D

May eventually go with a solid set-up if I ever get a "real" blower, lol.

What oil pan do you have? Happen to have the part# handy??

I figured that it'd be easier to paint w/o having all the crap on there, looked like it'd be easier to tape/mask everything off that way.

I'd better eat a lot of Wheaties before I buy one of those!

What color are you going to paint it?

HOLY JEEBUS That thing is all beef.

YES YES YES! my question is how high are you gonna spin it?

**5150 LX** · 12-03-2003, 02:12 PM

JMorris, just gonna shoot it a nice gloss black.

Regatta, probably only to about 6500 or so, maybe more :D

I purchased the Jeff Johnston's billet fab oil pan. It was kind of expensive, but it definitely didn't have any clearance problems with the block. It didn't come with a dipstick either, but that might be an option that I didn't order.
