im kinda drunk and i thinkn you ment stupid fast

Re: My HMT 78 Chevy Monte Carlo
 

No, the 4.3 crankshaft was drilled all wrong. Despite having one of the most robust oil pumps ever made - SBC - and the oil galleys being essentially identical to a known good engine design - SBC - they are legendary for their ability to ---- rod bearings due to loss of oil pressure. Can you spell t-i-m-e-b-o-m-b b-u-i-l-t b-y s-t-u-p-i-d f-a-g-g-o-t-s? When a SBC drops right in place of a 4.3, has a crank/oilling system/aka ----------ing backbone of th engine that isn't defective, etc, then it makes absolutely no sense to do anything with one. We're talking a $5 SBC build here, it's not like they are expensive or hard to find. ::)

BTW, the only reason this car isn't on the front page is the engine bay shot is craptastic. If the OP could get us some more pictures it'll happen.

I did not know that. :o
I change my mind every time i have a different engine sitting in my back yard.
I haven't found a clean 350 worth building and the 4.3 is minty fresh.
BUT knowing that, i think i resume the search for a good 350.

JD your car knowledge far surpasses anyone iv ever met or known.
good info and once again you weirded me out with how much you know.
THANKS
