1/2 Bridge almost here

i get the engine & everything back this weekend. Its a 1/2 bridge with a t78 & supposed to tune it when the engine is back in. It blew because of the oil returning lines being melted by the T78 compressor. So oil only went to half of the engine!


Below is a picture






So far i Bought New vacumm hoses, SS oil lines, new gaskets, Synthetic oil for my transmisson fluid, New clutch, new Radiator hoses, ignition system. Im thinking if theres anything else i should replace while my engine is out.


Any suggestions

He was racing that 685 rwhp monster? He's lucky that is all that happened, a popped motor.....I'm surprised his heart didn't fail from the suction of the other FD pulling away from him
