Seriously I almost had that happen on my first Livernois 427W.
Same deal, remote oil filter lines crossed!
Thankfully it was broken in on the engine Dyno so when we heard the noises in the car it had only idled for a few minutes on 2-3 occasions.
As a college kid who worked 3 years for that I was almost crushed.
SO HAPPY for you bro, great news!!!

I’ll have updates for you guys in 2-3 days. I’ve decided to replace the shortblock entirely and keep mine off to the side to sleeve for a future upgrade. Thankfully I have friends with tremendous resources that can get me what I need in a matter of days. We won’t be down long!

Sorry to hear all that man.

Glad you got some solid friends to help get you back in the groove again.

Kinda sounds like the car, and fate, is requesting a stroker.

I had the same problem on my ranger when I got it, in and out lines were swapped. Only had 25 pounds of pressure at Idle and 5 pounds of pressure and RPM. We thought it was a bad gauge, replace that and same issue. Replaced the oil filter and oil, still same issue as we thought the filter may have been plugged. We still had some pressure because the bypass valve allowed some oil through. We had receipts for multiple oil pumps. Turned out the lines were swapped. Had to replace the cam and bearings and the motor is a decent little rocket for a 331

While EVERYTHING is back out it’s always a good time to address things you wish you would’ve done the first go around. In this case I had some more stuff Powdercoated. Shocker I know. I wanted to integrate that pop of color the rails bring to the theme so I dropped the k member and trans crossmember off. Should be a nice addition

Same one used on your valve covers only yours are matte. So...I suppose it’s possible. Orange is my favorite “hot” color. It’s a tie between blue and green for my favorite cold colors
