Well I tested my gauge earlier and its not looking good for me right now. The oil pressure is way low. Im hoping its just the gauge we are going to test it with a Mechanical later tonight and hopefully its just a bad sending unit. If not the motor has to come back out to fix the problem. Im going to be pissed.

Well found out Im going to have to take the trans off the back of the motor to see if we installed the plunger like plastic piece in the back timing cover which keeps the oil pressure up.

Well Found out after two days work the oil pickup was not sealing due to a bad O Ring. The oil pressure is still to low for my liking even though it is within spec.
I ordered a Melling Oil Pump so it will go in before any dyno time.

Also heres a newer vid not much drive video yet. The car has massive torque down low. Anyone into drifting would appreciate the on throttle response. I tapped it at 2500 today and it kicked sideways and I never went over 4K.

im not sure about domestic motors.. but with many import oil pickups.. you have to pack them with grease or vasilen to get them flowing at first.

dude thats ****. Those 3500 HDs are fast as hell when the engine is powering a 6,000lb truck. I can only imagine the torque in the 240.
