I need to get an aluminum housing but my budget is blown. I can’t even afford a new flywheel at the moment lol. I’ll try to order one before putting it all back together but it may just get the plastic one put back in lol

Well the camshaft finally came in! And I got my wideband put in the pillar pod and ready to be installed. Now I just gotta pick up a flywheel and possibly a billet oil pump drive housing.

Nice, moving right along. Fyi, the fail point on the oil pump drive housing is the mounting hole splitting open, sometimes caused by horsing the bolt down (a little past snug is good). Wicked used to make a reinforcement plate that goes on top of the housing to help prevent stress from cracking the mount. Given your skills, I'm sure you could make one, costing you next to nothing other than a little bit of fab time. Put that $150 where it counts.
