Derek Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hi Tioga I may give that a try and see how it looks. I really like the wires in the front but then again I never tried them running towards the back. It's pretty crowded back there with the injection hard lines.

Derek Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Exterior hard lines finished. Got everything fabed up. Very happy with the results. I added a sandwich adapter in order to be able to get more oil for the VCT. The oil pressure port was fine for the cam oil feeds but I felt it would not keep up with the VCT. I moved everything over to the sandwich plate. The oil pressure switches are still on the oil pressure port. Rear oil feed. Hard lines are a ton of effort but for me well worth it.

supernova_6969 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 looks awesome... tell me, why is the rear feed zig zaging? is it some form of strain relief? s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zig zag lets you adjust the length of the line for final tweaking. That one was a little more pronounced than I would have liked but it's hidden so I left it. Even a single bend will give you some options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Making progress. Almost at the point where I can test the oil system. Front covers on. Internal lines finished. Externals as well. Getting closer! Hopefully Monday I can start testing the oil volume/pressures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 I'll do COP when my $200.00 Magnecor wires wear out. And then only if they look like plug wires:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JavelinZ Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Those S7 cams look money. Along with everything else obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8620 looked great with the copper plating but not so great after spending time in hot oil. The best part about the S7 is it's through hardened so as long as there is enough base circle you can regrind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an older intake that has a crazy step in it. So it steps up to the carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not long, so my guess would be runner length. But I am not a automotive engineer:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
