Re:Rebuil and custom Exaust! In CA???

Hey Steve - Your engine sounds sweet. I've been wondering if I should switch
over to a similar set-up. One question (I'll also post this on the T3 list
for others to chime in) - how well do oil-coolers work? I seem to recall a
Berg article saying that they did very little to cool the oil and added lots
of possible problems. I have seen a nice-looking setup on a conv.super (lot's
of cooling problems) where the oil was only routed thru the cooler if it
reached 200+ degrees.
I'd like to take you up on your blueprint offer (a copy), thanks and good
luck!
Oh, Ps- how did you decide on tose carbs? Just wondering.

Dear peoples,

                Well i just finally finished rebuilding my 1776cc. It kicks
ass. Actually its not in a vehicle yet. But anyway this is what i did. Took
it all apart and soaked all the pats in a giant bucket of degreaser for a
week. Then i categorized and seperated the parts. That took me a few days.
Then i cleaned and polished a  the parts. Then put it together and Duall
Webbers on. While all the parts were in the degreaser i was building my
exaust. First i got 4 J-tubes from rocky mountain and 2 stingers. So when the
engine was rebuilt i tweeked the 4 J-tubes so they could come out as headers
then i merged the ends and put the stingers on. If you want a some what of a
blueprint just e-mail me and i will send you a copy. So now its a smoged and
ready to be put in my sb. It has a most perfect sound too. Also i added an
extra oil pan/resivoir and im getting an auxillary oil cooler too!!
