oil drainage issue. It's a MP resto block Based off of their dry sump race block so it holds oil in the lifter gallery. I need to dril some drain holes according to this book. How to build big inch mopar small blocks . The oil was coming out the breather and pooling in the valley tray of my airgap intake which fueled the fire. I was also having stumbling under power. I believe it was the carb. That has been replaced. Cheaperto replace the carb than to rebuild it, didn't know if it was warped or not either.

:mad: Well it appears that may have to turn down the main journals on the crank as my main bearings were worn through to the copper babbit.
The rods look to be ok though. If anything else goes wrong I may just freak out. :cry:
