Where in LA are you? I might be interested, if you aren't too far out.

How much do you think it is worth as is? 124k, 7.4l, manual trans, 4x4, headers, short throw shifter, intake, new plugs, wires, cap, Bosh injectors, front tires 2 weeks old
Where did you find a Blue Streak distributor cap? I was told they were not available for the vortec engine. Thanks, hope you are able to sell your truck.

Got stuck, redlined 10x or so getting out. Oil pressure dropped to about 20 psi drove home as to about 1 mile from the house psi =0 , held rpm about 1k at stop light etc. Died in my yard. Cranked next morning was fine till about 150* temp, dropped to 6-7 psi cut it off. Changed oil & filter, looks to be glitter in it. With initial start when clutch is pushed in crank bearings? Whirr. Mechanic here says even if I replace oil pump, tube, screen. My engine will only have ~2 weeks worth of life. What is your opinion?

O'Reilly advertises Blue Streak parts.
Yes that's where I got the rotors, but they told me that Blue Streak didn't have a cap for my truck (5.7 vortec, but the same as a big block). Obviously that has changed. Thanks again for the information.
