Re: [Amc-list] 6 cyl. to V8 swap

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK Bart,
Now that I have your opinion about Bulltear engine oiling parts for AMC
V-8s,
Please give me your take on what I should be doing to make my 401 live a
long
and happy life while running in the 3500 to 6500 rpm range for extended
periods
of time. Example: 70 Javelin Trans AM clone for lap days at the Road Course.
What are your suggestions to supply positive oiling to the crank mains and
rods?
Do I need a crank scraper?
How about valve train lubrication?
Got any tips for the distributor gears? Or should I go to crank trigger
ignition?
Do I need to worry amount cam lubrication? Or is the factory oil galley
serving the cam adequate?
Who has the best roller cam for AMC V-8s?
Any other tips please send them my way.
Thanks,
Armand
