Well, I got the new motor put in there, hooked up the bare minimum to get the car running...wouldnt turn on at first, no firing...forgot to plug in the Power transistor because the intake mani is off a 90, so I dug around and found a 91+ plugged it in, turned right on!

Really lumpy... 272's are pretty ugly sounding in a closed garage.

>>>>>WhAT ArE GOLDen FLaKeS Doing ON my DIPSTICK?<<<<

they could be from the massive quantities of coppercoat i used during assembly, but i have a sneaking suspicion that this engine that I got from andy is bad....so im gonna ask him to help me do this next engine swap if it turns out to be bad

this car is a nightmare! it is bankrupting me!

I'll bet this thing thinks it can win....little does it know that I am far to stupid to give up on a lost cause

UPDATE: after several minutes of run-time the flakes are gone. I still need to get the car buttoned up and boost on it for a bit before I can trust the engine. Maybe I used an oil pan from a motor with spun bearings...thank god for Napa Gold (wix) filters! (im gonna cut this filter up and look at what kind of shit is in there after I switch over to synthetic)
