Re: Full-flow oil filter conversion for V-8

Keith,
Yes. Bored to 374ci, with new pistons and new bearings all the way around. Most truthfully, that was my first rodeo at ever rebuilding an engine but I did rebuild it with my own hands. I dropped my old engine off in Las Vegas and I contracted with Craig to disassemble & have it machined in late 2005. I then spent 1 full week in Pahrump in May 2006 actually putting it together. Craig stood with me and step by step I turned the wrenches to build her. It was at that time too that we plumbed the full-flow oil system that all of you here developed from some of those expansive & exhaustive on-line chats of old.
I also had the exhaust manifolds coated by performance coating (of Seattle I think) and I've placed an electric wiper system into here too. I need to review my notes a bit to see what else I did. It's been (4) years of "weekends only" to get it to this point.
Here's a couple of pictures. Transporting to Las Vegas and present day.
