Re: Oil Change What say you... Reply #26 – December 31, 2016, 03:48:27 pm 327 and 283 isn't that a 302z? I like the dart blocks however out of our 3 BBC engines the dart water block is 40 lbs heavier. On the subject of oil pressure after servicing you could install an accusump. Basically a tank with valves that you have open when engine running then close it before you shut off to hold pressure in tank and then just before you start the engine you open the valve to pressurize the oil galleys.
