Cosmetic Mockup
I couldn't resist stacking on all of the components today just to see how it all looks together. I'm still waiting on the replacement connecting rod and spirolox to begin the bottom end. Oh yeah, I also need to wash everything one more time, measure and prepare the main bearings, and chase the mains.

That's a hell of an oil pan. What's the capacity?
ReplyDeleteIt's 7.5 quarts. I went with more capacity since I'm using a high volume oil pump and may add an oil cooling system - still undecided on that one. This seems to be the popular pan for the FFR Cobra, as far as fit and features (baffle, bungs, etc.)
ReplyDeleteWouldn't think you'd need a cooler on the oil with that many quarts. But with that HP maybe one on the differential?
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've read, engines intended for sustained high-RPM use benefit from the extra oil... I guess more oil can get suspended higher in the engine?
ReplyDeleteThat said... I was blueprinting the engine for only around 6000 rpm; though the bottom end internals can go much higher. The stock block with the smaller webbing and 2-bolt mains are what guided the decision to target 6k.
Funny enough, I originally bought a black 5qt. stock style pan and pickup and still have them. I like the baffle feature of the bigger pan though.
