Degreed LJMS cam, dropped in Johnsonlifters (short travel hydrolic), installed Melling high pressure oil pump and put on front cover.

Melling put Red Locktite on a spring retainer screw (or something) because it was damn near impossible to get the screw out to replace the oil flow spring. I also had to take apart the pump to clean out any metal shavings.

All-in-all... pretty successful day.

Windage tray on (with fitment issues), oil pick up and Moroso 4way trap door pan. I'll come back tomorrow and figure out the clearance.

To find out where the crank and rods are hitting the windage tray. You need some HiSpot bluing compound (grease will work too). Put a thin layer on the inside of the tray. Install it and rotate the crank. The bluing will transfer to the crank and rods marking the contact areas.

My big block Mopars had a swinging oil pick up. My big block Pontiacs and Chevys had a T shaped oil pan.

Fixed some windage tray issues and put the oil pan on. Now I can take it back off because I forgot to install the oil pickup.
