Good point Steve, that's a great pic
I believe AndyF took that picture.
Forgot the issue the smoke was from.

My cars first track day had a blue smoke trail too, chased my tail all day thinking I had blow by galore and in adequate breather baffling only to find out when I got home that it was a split valve cover gasket. Must be a first time Mopar at the track voodoo thing....
Mopar to the bone!!!

I don't. Tim finished up the fabrication at his shop so I didn't get any final pictures. It looks great though, very clean, very strong and very simple.
Scott, Andy - I would like to see how Tim pulled this off, I very much want to do a sway bar like this on my car. If the K-frame needs to be modified I would like to do that before I send it for powder coating. Any details or pictures would be appreciated. Maybe Tim can share some details with us?
Thanks,
Michael

Just in case you weren't aware, the Spokane show is an evening show because the swap meet does one during the day.
Well that's confusing? So there are two Mopar events the same date/place, one swap show/day, and one show at night with different groups running each? Where is it held?

The car corners hard enough that Tim had to solve a lot of various oil leaks. A 8 3/4 rear end will leak if you corner hard enough. So will the valve covers and the dipstick.
I did a bunch of machine work on the existing combo to fix the leaks. I used cast valve covers and machined them for o-ring fittings for the breathers. We used a remote puke can for the breathers which should solve that issue.

I saw a road car that had baffles in the axle tubes to prevent washing out the wheel bearings. Real problem when running a synthetic.
Timkin bearings?

Seems about right, but I was only there once and it was a couple of years ago. Seems farther to me, but I don't drive down Broadway often, at least not past Farr anyway.
