sbc oil pump priming
Hey guys,
Priming question... I am putting a sbc in my off-road race truck, it is well sunk into the firewall and the roll cage goes directly above the dist. I have already put the engine/trans in the truck but realized I am not positive this engine got primed. the bottom end has been run a little but it has not been started in about 4 years since it got alum heads, new hei, intake and carb. Is there another way to prime it other then pulling it back out of the truck to pull the dist? I thought about moding the motor mounts to bring the engine back another 4in so I could make a dist access panel under the dash but decided against that so I dont have to build another new firewall.
Thanks!
