total internal engine fluid volume
how much fluid volume would your engine hold if you were so inclined to fill it? from the oil pan to the top of your oil cap port. on my car this would mean the oil pan, a 280 block, su's and an e88 head. the fluid would fill the return hose, intake, cylinders, carbs and don't forget to plug the dip stick port. the valve cover alone might take a gallon. i filled mine with atf as a detergent while its in for paint and body. considering i made three trips to the parts store for more and the amasement of those who watched me do it; i'm curious if anyone could guess just how much it held. post your answers in quarts and i'll post what was my reality (for my car). feel free to advise me of what i might need to replace (carb cork) and or do as a procedure prior to engine start. http://homepage.mac.com/cdavidwilder/iMovieTheater8.html http://homepage.mac.com/cdavidwilder/iMovieTheater6.html http://homepage.mac.com/cdavidwilder/PhotoAlbum2.html http://homepage.mac.com/cdavidwilder/PhotoAlbum5.html http://homepage.mac.com/cdavidwilder/PhotoAlbum10.html

Flowmaster 40 series Question
i had a flowmaster 40 series on a l28/e88 with msa headers 6 in to 1 with and without a resonator and also with and without an inline muffler. the 40 series went on because i love the look and because it was 30 years old and given to me be a once avid racer. my car was never more loud and was a menace to some and a embarassment to myself. the flowmaster acted as a echo chamber when it was behind the others listed above and the car was quieter withouy it on the car. so for my sound preference, the 40 series is good for a wheel chuck on a street car mabey a qualifying part for raceing but not much else. i now have a 14 inch pc of stainless from the headers to a 45 inch/ 3 inch in diameter glasspac topped off by a summit brand "dynomax" polished stainless steele 16inch muffler. and she sounds better than ever. now, i do not expect you to believe i have a 45 inch glasspac. but it is true. also there is no possible way to know what your car will sound like untill each combination is on the car and running. good luck, i averaged 1 new exhaust per year untill i found what i like. cdavid
