    Oil Pressure Woes !!

    I didn't want to go there as its a band aid, but you are correct. Heavier oil could bump his numbers. The only other thing I can think of assuming this is a fresh build is that the gasket wasn't applied to the pump and the pick up allowing pressure to escape or that the oil pick up itself...

    Super Stiff Rear Spring/shock Combo

    I'm with you. They would be the easiest thing to address first.

    Oil Pressure Woes !!

    If you are testing with a mechanical gauge you can eliminate any voltage issues. If the x Cam has a large amount of lope your idle numbers could be a tad off but even at its lowest point your numbers sound low.

    Super Stiff Rear Spring/shock Combo

    Matching struts in the front. Tokico SN take offs. I have coil overs that haven't gone on yet. Wanted to address the rear first.

    Super Stiff Rear Spring/shock Combo

    Will do. Do you think I would need an adjustable sway? I'm not racing. This is purely a driving car.

    Oil Pressure Woes !!

    The 18-20 at hot idle is "OK" the 30 at 4k seems low to me. If you aren't racing and this is just a pleasuremobile that engine could last for years. I'd bet my paycheck that bottom end is untouched. Top end was gone through for a bad gasket or to get the heads rebuilt and then put back together.

    Super Stiff Rear Spring/shock Combo

    honestly they may be a part of my issues. Not sure if Sn rears have longer travel but if that is is the case they are not operating in the same range as the factory springs and sway bar are designed to work in.

    Super Stiff Rear Spring/shock Combo

    They are tokico shocks. Very similar to the blue series.

    Oil Pressure Woes !!

    I would invest in a cheap mechanical gauge just to make sure you actually have decent pressure. I've had a 20 dollar sunpro in my jeep for several years now since the stock unit failed. I run autometer in the fox, but just for diagnostics a simple unit will do for now.

    Super Stiff Rear Spring/shock Combo

    Up/down isn't a problem. It's taking a corner at anything faster than a crawl and the body pitches over like the Titanic.

    Super Stiff Rear Spring/shock Combo

    No. Still stock. Think that will make an appreciable difference? Stock springs are still like a rocking chair. Need to replace those two.

    Super Stiff Rear Spring/shock Combo

    Most of the regulars know I've got super huge wheels and tires out back. Upgraded the rear control arms and went with mach 1 shocks but left the stock springs. Body roll is obnoxious. I'm looking for a spring/shock combo that will severely reduce if not eliminate this. Not really looking to...

    Progress Thread My Kenne Bell Twin Screw'd Foxbody thread, (new addition to the family)

    There's honestly 9 months of the year here where lack of AC is what keeps me from sitting in my car. I left it all off after the rebuild but kept it in a box. My son is taking my jeep this year so getting that frosty coldness back in is kind of a priority this year. Next time the engine is...

    Progress Thread My Kenne Bell Twin Screw'd Foxbody thread, (new addition to the family)

    I've been contemplating getting one. AC is at the top of my list this year though. Oh and window seals. Can't forget those.

    Any reason you went with tubular K?

    Is 325 To Expensive For A Edelbrock Performer

    I've run both on the same engine. Untouched they both flow close enough to not really make a difference. If you were to get into porting the performer would outflow a ported gt40 style intake. At that point I would just be shopping for something that flowed better anyway. My money is on the...
