I better put mine on ebay QUICK! cuz it sounds like it's worth about 2 million bucks. Good thing I have a few of them huh?


85irocZ28: this SHOULD work but you might have exhaust clearance issues

Moroso Street/Strip Oil Pans: MOR-20165 - summitracing.com

There are others, but the max stroke is 3.480"..

That's right. All those millions and millions of small blocks built between 1979 and 1985 that seem to have passenger side dipsticks are just illusions produced in the mind as a result of a joint project between GM and the CIA to develop and deploy mind control satellites. It is often conjectured that the same system was used again in later mass-hypnosis projects, as it is the only means to explain the popularity of reality television, pop music and certain types of cheese.
