If you didn't see on my other post, I found the oil pump was stuck when I went to prime the motor. Of course, everything was done but the ignition. I pulled the motor out yesterday morning and dropped the pan. I was expecting to see the drive rod stuck to the side but nope, everything was right where it was supposto be, the pump is siezed. I went ahead and pulled the pump and pan off the 406. That pan is a Moroso 7 quart and I know that pump works so on it went. I got the motor back in last night and I'm finishing the rehook up process now. I'll probably wait until tomorrow morning to fire it up and break in the cam as we're going to hit the upper 90's today.
