Bentley, could you send me a pic of your p/s hose? Maybe measure the length? The sleeve on mine is about 10 inches but the return looks to be a replacement so I have no idea if it has/needs one.

I looked into armaflex too, but it is to thick IMHO. I want something closer to original.

My ACC carpet should be here tomorrow. I also ordered it from Rockauto.com for 166 +15 for shipping.. I did get the Mass backing. It was a no brainer. I think we are all at the same place on our restos

Im from western MA. I have talked to Jeff Morgan. He is a great guy with a sweet car. One of the things he clued me in on was to use the bypass valve. he told me he had an oil pressure issue. That is why I got one so early in build. He also told me he had Diamond custom make pistons for his 074 heads. I think I will use the new GMPP Rovals made by Edelbrock. I wish the looked more stock though

So far I have the block, oil pressure valve, valve covers, timing cover, flywheel, and 163 intake which I may or may not use depending on head selection. The things I have to determine are
cubic inch displacement (crank stroke)
bore: Would love to keep a 4.250 bore
Deck height: dependent on piston manufacture/ possibly custom pistons for a 10/1 and head combo
Finding a shop that will listen to me and has some experience with doing one of these blocks and is fairly reasonable. (not looking for cheap but don't want to be gouged either)
How to save up to get it done!

Thank you. Those look like good options. Anybody have any experience with the repop pans? Are those just re boxed Dormans? It just that everytime I get something from a dealer, I could have bought it from a reg place or summit cheaper. Just happened with a heater core.

Hello, I am looking for a stock appearing oil pan for my x22. The new engine is going to be an all new build using a GMPP ZL1 block (since it is NOM anyway). I am still in the planning  and parts gathering  mode. Still not sure of the cubic inch we are going to do with it so I may have to go with a stroker clearance pan. I do want a stock (ish) appearance of an original ZL1 (black pan, timing cover, stock looking valve covers and functioning cowl air cleaner setup). It will not be a true to stock look but a half breed or an almost day 2 with headers and small upgrades. Anybody have a good pan that they have used that kind of looks the part and does not have any issues with cheapness or leaks? Any help would be much appreciated!  Also If you have any experience with one of these blocks, that info would be great!

I am the owner of this block. I would love to get it back into the original car. It was too early for my car.

It's just I keep looking at my own firewall and notice the missing clips on mine. I just can't bring myself to put in a repop that doesn't look  "good enough". Someday I will find some....

If the muncie hole was there, wouldn't it have a hole for the speedo clip? I see just the dimple on where it would have been punched if needed......
