The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 2: No Replacement For Displacement

[thunderchicken]

It was a count your penny's decision. I am sure they are swinging on the rods by now or very close. They are checking the rods for round.

I can understand counting the penny's for sure. Again I get it being a street car and a realistic budget build you have to draw the line somewhere. In any case no doubt it will be fun when he gets it back together

Look again at your pump. I think your car has a return line to the tank. Not sure if you’re back still gonna run that.

I am very far removed from running mechanical pumps. Will a bypass pump feed on higher than normal demand...????

You know there’s gonna be a minimum of four or five setbacks. Something won’t fit right or I’ll have forgotten to order some critical piece. If you know that going into it then you don’t have to be mad or frustrated.

Oh I am not mad. I am glad you brought that up. There was a rod in the block we are using. I am sure it is in the parts pile. I just have to remember to use it. I always toss those.

I’ve heard of using a larger volume mech pump with a return style regulator.

Or maybe a pump like this - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/...VQ2gRXwIMwM2-5UWLSRZgJJ7eV6jyrTBoCSVkQAvD_BwE
