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

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bart,
Have you had good or bad experiences with your drag motor oiling the back
mains of the crank?
Please tell me your real world experiences with this issue.
Do you guys run a big oil pan or dry sump?
What mods are you using?

Anyone please chime in here as I'm planning on spending big money on my 401
and since they are difficult for me to find, I want to know as much as
possible going into the build rather than learn the hard way.

I think Traco built the engines for Penske back in the 60s and 70s. So that
knowledge is pretty well locked up in Traco's files and I will never be able
to benefit from their experiences because I can't spend the kind of money
they need to have to build one for me.

Thanks,

Armand
