What kind of mileage on the engine? Under 100K, slap on a quality filter and fresh oil and you're good to go. Not much you can do short of a rebuild if oil pressure is low due to high miles.

An extra quart in the pan, or an accumulator couldn't hurt. Edelbrock heads shouldn't make a difference. If it's not doing it often, you're probably not doing any damage. You just don't want to...

You didn't say, which model Milodon pan did you add? You really need the deep sump with the extended pickup. The high clearance pan for road racing will do no good in an off-roader. The problem...

Double check all of your power and ground wires. My 360 powered CJ had the same issue, turned out to be a poorly crimped lug on the end of the ground wire. Where's your battery? Still under the...

I've heard the 258 pistons are the same as 304. The problem is finding someone willing to break a set to get you the 2 extras. Time and cost considered, you might as well just get a custom set of...
I'll let MC jump in here because I'm not positive. If the 534 is just a replacement for the oil filter adapter (making the filter remote) then I don't see why it couldn't be.

Make sure the pump gear cavity is filled with oil or vaseline. They don't self-prime. If the gears are dry, they will never suck oil from the pan. I've used a mid plate on my last 3 builds. I...

If the oil level is about normal you could just have some condensation in the crankcase. It's actually pretty common in vehicles that are stored for long periods, especially if it wasn't allowed to...

$1500 for a rebuildable 401 is about the going rate right now. I wish I would have picked up a lot more 15 years ago when they were plentiful and I could get them for $75 from a couple of local...

Welcome to the site. I had a 77 CJ7 that I built for rock crawling. I'll try to answer your questions based on my experiences.
