From: LT1 land...the "409" of the 90s!
BTW The reason I was looking for a new setup is the canton sucks and with the stock pan I start to loose oil pressure on a good hook

Besides not fitting with many headers and leaking? not much as long as you never work on your car

Got them already converted. With all the money going out this year I had to cut a corner somewhere.
Paid $500 for the heads. Not to bad needed two new seats and 4 valves. So I put another $400 in them.
Ran into a problem today with the crank trigger.
It's going to take a day getting it on. oh well. With anyluck the motor will go in the car tommorrow.

2 bolt block converted to splayed 4 bolt. The factory 4 bolt blocks have all 4 bolts going straight down. Be having the 2 outer bolts at an angle it is stronger and the caps deflect(or bend) less at high rpms.
Very nice looking set-up. I am very jealous. Just can't fit a project like that into my budget for several years... *sigh*
Not to hijack, but I am from IL (western Chicago suburbs... for a time I lived RIGHT behind Bob Joes's Speedway (Sycamore/Maple Park) the oldest dirt track in the country), but where is Cardova?

I would say it is about thre and half hours from you. You would have to get on I-88 W, then get on I-80 Just before you hit Iowa take hgw 84 N.
