Completely ambiguous. That number could literally be anything. ;) :D

Metric system is base 10.

AI Overview

The primary difference is that the metric system is built on a base-10 (decimal) structure, while the imperial system has no single base and relies on a collection of irregular conversion factors.

Base what? That number could be anything from two to over fifty-seven googolplex! Now if you're talking about base TEN, that's different story!

Never mind, I'm just pullin your leg with a mathematical joke. :D ;)

It sounds more exhaust than anything to me... But that is just me...

My ignorant and uninformed opinion agrees with you.

I'll get the bellhousing Friday night, swap it in and really lock down the exhaust.

Based on the oil we're good.

Runs, drives, knocks...think I need to pull the oil pan...I think the rods are hitting the bottom of the pan. I couldn't find anything about clearancing the oil pan for a stroker...but that would make sense.

Pan also leaks. Any suggestions for a decent oil pan or should I just suck it up and pull the one off my original engine.

Bell housing arrived. Pulled the transmission. Swapped everything over. Bolted everything up.

No knock! Couldn't sleep. 2:30 am pulled the exhaust... having a v band just under the skid makes this easy...pulled the pan. Greased up a bunch of washers. Mopped the metal out of pan. Right stuff and a copper washer on the oil drain plug. Torqued everything up. Fresh oil.

If I had run it a bit longer it was self clearancing...
