Man, you guys are great! Thanks Grumpy and Jeff for your help. I just can't believe these caps are so hard to get...from the states even. Grumpy, I have E-Mailed Jeff as well but if you can give me a price I can figure out which one to get. Also, let me know how much you want and how to pay you. Here is my address:
GySgt Terry Baldwin
PSC 557 Box 2754
FPO AP 96379
1975 4 bolt main SBC 350 rear main bearing cap (two piece seal type).
Also, do you think I would get lucky and not have to align hone on a used one with new bearings?
This goes to San Fran Ca., then the military sends it from there free.

I am in Okinawa and almost finished with my rebuild and damn...I broke the top off of my rear main bearing cap while torqing the oil pump bolt. This a two piece type seal cap. The engine is a 1975 4 bolt mains but of coarse the rear main cap is only two bolt. Well I have searched everywhere for this damn thing and NO ONE sells them. Can someone help me in getting one please...I am dead in the water with out a replacement. I know I have to align hone and all that but I need a replacement. Grumpy, are you out there? Any suggestions as to where I can buy this cap? GM doesn't make them anymore.....HELP!!!!

Calling all RAT experts, I am in Japan and we are going to build a 240Z RAT 468 BB. We would like to know where to start and what we need for the 8 to 9 sec 1/4. We are basically tired of these turboed blender engines here. The fastest is mid 9's We are going to change that. Any help is appreciated. Money is not an issue. This will be a huge deal here in Okinawa so anyone wanting to get a mention inour build, just help us in anyway with parts, know how, links, hooking us up with the right people etc. This one small step for the 240Z and one huge leap for American racing!!!! Guys we are ready to launch this thing but we need to cover all the logistics etc....Z people lets do this! GRUMPY we could use your insight on this one!!!!!! 900 to 1000+ Big Block???? MOre later!

Stony, they are having the NAGO thing this coming Sunday so I am going to go check it out. I will try to get some vids if possible. That guy named Armondo was talking trash but well see. Hey I was just trash talking as well about twin turbo 6 and GNZ...hell it boils down to who has the most money not engine......anyway I will see if his so called 500 HP 1.8 4 banger is the real deal or not. He says he can pull 5 bars on a single turbo...I think not. More later.
-
Hey, Rip Van Winkle here...man what a sleep I had lol. Well all I can say is I tell what I read. I guess if the Twin Turbo dude's website would have been updated in the last two tears I may have been more accurate...excuse me I am not MEW2 so I didn't have Psychic ability...lol. Man I know the L6 well...used to mess with them back in the 80's and they were respectable then and most definately an awesome engine....but I think some may be trying to hold onto the past. technology is a bugger and well theres that V thing to ponder....good luck to both of you. If you really wanted a race you can come over here anytime..(JAPAN) and Ill wax both of ya!!!! Don't forget to pay your import tax! He He....Good Luck on the run...By the way how did Scotty get to be the one to beat?? You may want to call Darius out...I hear he has a thing for spanking R1's!
All in Fun

Hellooooo....I know some of you guys are just trying to be too nice. Twin Turbo dude posted a best of 12;25 or something like that...even if you give him a full second, he would still get spanked by 3 or 4 car lengths running against a high 10 sec GNZ. Well OK lets don't give him a full sec......DOH!!!! 15 car lengths???? Where are the time slips baby??? At any rate theres not much more boost left and a whole lotta breaking in the midst.....no dont you dare crap your pants out there and be left sitting on the line......I dont even think it will be close....GNZ rules and we will just have to accept it....JAPTIN on the other hand would post a good afternoon thrill I expect...just my 02 cents worth from Japan. He HE

What I know is the second ring is the scrapper and should be bevelled slightly /. The rings should have a ounched dot on the side that goes up. Not the oil rings though. I have the Speed Pro Rings and the TOP ring has red and white markings, the second ring just has white. Hope this helps.
-
Hey guys, maybe Grump if your out there. I need to get a new 700R4 for my new 450HP build (SBC 350) Does anyone know about the Rapture? I will need a 2600 stall as well. I want the 30 spline. Any suggestions? I know shipping will be a MF but I can't help that....the Z is crying, gotta shut her up.
Anyone?

Grumpy, almost forgot, do you know what the rpm range is for the 12-433-8 Comp Cam? Also, which rear gears would be better? 3:90 or 3:54?
Thanks
Terry

Thanks Grumpy...your the best. Ill have more pics up soon. The car just went to body and paint. Ill go with the AFR 195s, 12-433-8 Comp Cam and Super Victor Intake with the 750 0-4779 Holley. It should be fun but I don't want it to break......
Talk to ya later!!!
Thanks again
Terry

Thanks Grumpy, do I need to get the high Rev kit for valve float? Pros/Cons. Also, I am gonna run a 700R4 so can I use a Holley 750 with Mech secondaries without bogging on the line? Lastly, will a 2800 stall be too much for the 12-433-8 combo? Man your a life saver.

As far as cost... I bought 2 sheets of Zinc galvanized metal and cut out the floor pans via cardboard template. Thet are 1 MM thick so it was a bitch to shape them. However a little heating with the torch help. I then jacked the pans up into position and adjusted the fit etc. I had to used a torch and steel rods to weld them. I welded everthing except the door rail side. I used tapping screws to secure this area. I will seal that space with rubber sealant later. I wasn't planning for this to happen but after comparing it with the original it comes out about 7/8 of an higher than stock. You have to lower the seat frame a bit unless your a short person to get the same clearance inside. The goos thing about ZINC is that it will never rust again!!! The water doesn't matter and I probably have the world's strongest floor pans now. I am sure it helps with the body strength too. The sheets cost s me about $20 per and the rods plus the O2 and Acetalene was about about $50. I should be done with this car around August or so....it fricken rains here alot so I have to wait for it to stop to really work on the car. I am gonna build an over head in May so I can work on the car at night and during the rain. I will keep in touch.
