Penny Lives... again!
Well that wasn't much fun...
Anyways, first motor had some sort of issue, most likely to do with oil travel that took out the cam, crank and all the bearings.
Replaced it all and tossed in a slightly bigger camshaft. Replaced the oil pump with a reworked unit and tripple checked everything. almost 60psi of oil pressure on startup.
Fired right up and actually seems to run pretty good. Goes in for dyno tuning next Thursday. She's being a biatch at the end, but I will make her behave. lol
Also, we started pulling the engine Monday and had her rebuilt and fired up by Thursday. Not too shabby.
Here she is, with mufflers, running again for the first time. Should get a bit louder once the Magnaflows loosen up. Turn your speakers up.

Sorry to hear about the trials and tribulations, but glad you seem to have it fixed now.
Any idea why it failed the first time?

Nope, there were no "failed parts". The cam was a little suspect since one side was perfect and one chewed. Then again one side is under more load. The oil pump seemed to had a stuck valve. That might of caused a loss of oil pressure. We took the position of replacing everything it could have been.

Sounds awesome Steve, I think it sounds very similar to my car from the video.
Now go out and enjoy it.

14-inch... I don't know the part numbers. I a hundred or two miles they should break in and sound even better. When I get everything else done I will thermal coat the whole system. Originally Posted by speedster

Sorry to hear about the problems. Hope she finishes without any more problems. I can't wait to see her in person. When and where will you be crusing?

I live in Chino, Pomona - Ontario area. I travel frequently and I am home most weekends and would love to do a cruse in my 80 camaro and have a good look at the other cars out there. PM me with the next one and I'll try and be there.
Thanks,
Ron

Looks good. Sorry to hear about the issues. I bet it feels good to have everything back in order.
Once I am done with the move and such (closing escrow on a new house today) I should be able to start making it to some shows and events. My car is ugly right now, but is functionally sound. Boy what a blast to drive.Nick R.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Well hell, you can go over to Don Lee Auto on Foothill in RC and check it out. She's there now waiting to go to tune on Thursday. Originally Posted by formula98
