Man I'm bummed that the news.individual.net started charging for the
service. It's back the the isp service for me.

Nope, it runs right at 195 and has no unusual noise. The oil pump has new
parts and has not been smacked.

Re: rear seal leak
 

I had my mechanic tear it down after I got it. It has new pistons, rings,
cam etc, just like the receipts that came with it said, but valves were
mismatched. I had to have the valves, guides and springs replaced, but
internally it was good. I'll admit I spent too much on this small v8, I
should have went with a 401 or 350 sb for the $. It dyno'd at 210 hp.

It has no unusual noice at all, and plenty of power. It idles at ~7-800 and
psi is above 10 at hot idle. I posted 5-10 psi, but after rechecking the
gauge it's above 10 psi at it's lowest.

Re: rear seal leak
 

That's still way too low, something wrong! A V8 by any manufacture
should never be less than forty pounds as we see in these mechanic's
guide lines: http://www.----------.com/amchpchart.jpg
