Farm Truck 351W build
#31
The machinist ( an old boy that's been doing it for like 50 years, and built everything from stock motors to NASCAR team engines ) told me that the only reason it has a high volume pump is to make sure it's still happy at 7000 rpms for a few hours at a time.
Do you have a pic of this oil cooler setup? so it moves the filter so it doesnt stick through the frame hole?? I'm already sold.

I'll go searching on ebay for the oil cooler setup.
So, with this engine being a bit more than i originally planned, i got to thinking as i spent my hours doing the daily grind.
First off, is the camshaft i have going to be too tame? should i look at something a bit more aggressive, without getting too carried away?
Secondly, even though the truck came from the factory with speed density, maybe right now is the time to look into swapping over to mass air.
Thoughts?
Edit: i know not everyone deals in 92-96 trucks in this part of the forum, so i decided to make a post in that section of the forum to hopefully help out. here is the link:

As far as the oil cooler, i wasn't able to locate the exact one you were mentioning, but i think this one is a winner, not only for this build, but all future builds as well.

I'm still staring at camshaft specs... i cant find anything i really like. I have, however, decided the factory EFI is going, there's no reason to work around that, when i can get a FiTech setup for less than i would have in a mass air conversion.
So, please, shower me with camshaft knowledge!!

So, as always, the plan keeps snowballing. i have decided to send the E7 heads to another project, and step up to running a set of aftermarket Aluminum heads. I've also decided on a Comp XE270 camshaft. and finally, I decided that the stock EFI was going to be cumbersome, that converting to Mass Air was going to be pricey, and still a bit cumbersome, so I decided to run one of the "drop on top" self learning EFI setups. That led to this purchase.
I've wanted an RPM Air Gap for years, this one just came up locally for a great price. he bolted it on, but never ran it, its had some port work done, and the divider wall has been cut. It looks so damn pretty.
