Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
I can't really tell from the picture....can't see the area that would be a parting line if its cast.....
Is it a steel crank or cast ? A manual trans with a cast crank was never a good idea in my mind..... Not sayin it cant be done or if that has anything to do with this failure but if I'm letting a clutch out at 5000-6000rpm and maybe on a 2 step I'm a lot happier with a steel crank in there.... I have used cast cranks and had one in my LT-1 stocker.....automatic trans though...… Dial bore the rod big ends to see if they might be tapered.....Unless they were cut and rehoned that's pretty unlikely..... Is the thrust OK....? I assume it was.... Looks like most of the trash was soft bearing material fortunately....

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Good...…
I think you have it right.....to much oil up top maybe and volume being bled off various places......starved the bottom end for enough oil.... I've used the lifters with the oil holes on a bracket engine and had no problems using them. The race filters are less restrictive than a std filter...usually.... Luckily you caught it before it ended up real bad...….

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Understandably you are trying to correct a problem but stepping up the oil pump will also take more hp to drive it. Controlling the volume is the answer.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
The lifter bore cam oiling modification I am not clear on what was done. If it is possible to undo that ? If a slot or channel was machined I assume it could not be returned to stock. If a hole was drilled you might be able to plug those holes. The direct feed lifters bleed off a lot by themselves right on the cam.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
You said there was a lot of oil coming up thru solid lifters. How did you verify that? If so you might need restricted oil hole pushrods. Or oil restrictors in block

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
At this point, I'll give up some power to stop destroying stuff.
