Like I said earlier, I had some minor set backs. I broke the timing chain at high RPM, bent and broke valves, damaged all the pistons. With that said the motor is back together with all new parts again. With that said the car should be started up tomorrow. Will post pictures and video. The new additions AI heads and intake.

If that's a canton pan keep your eye on the oil pressure as the rpm climbs. The built in windage tray in mine was basically useless.

What kind of RPMs, and where you on a corner/high g loads?

I'd expect nothing but excellence from canton but....i have no direct experience with them.
