Hi Ron, looks like all is well with you. I work with a friend of mine Ford engine (before anybody starts bashing, 1225HP and that is motor only,  ) we have played with push rods the entire life of this combo. We run a tapered 7/16 to 3/8 push rod. What we started to do was painted the push rods with diecome (sp?) where they pass through the heads. We will run .030 clearance all the way around the rod and only after some hard pulls, we would see where the push rods were rubbing the heads (the joys of 1000lbs open pressure) The point I'm trying to make is, and I know you know this, it is a heck of a lot easier to figure out small problems on a dyno than in a car. Dyno the motor Ron!!
....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

That Jones Drive mandrel pulley stuff looks like it ended up pretty nice I just used one of those E brock Water pumps recently for 1st time as well & they are by far nicest mechanical out there, now that the MP Nascar unit is gone. Looks good..... Any debris left in engine has to go through filter to get to bearings. & Knowing Ron, I highly doubt there really was any debris he missed, I think he just said that in case there was one tiny little sliver etc that somehow escaped his eyesight. I've done the grind for P rod clearance with head on motor before in a bind time wise etc before & never had it be an issue, with proper care/cleanliness when grinding.

You are not going to believe this. But I sat the Valve cover on the bench and got distracted and then ended up cutting the hole in the WRONG END! So, the only way would be to plug it or have it at the back of the drivers side or the front of the pass side. I agree with you 100%, but it would have required tighter bends in the fittings. As it is I think the gentle bends and ease of installation are slightly better. But look like crap. But if you think about it, when it's installed in the car it will not be as big an issue with the bathtub for the air cleaner etc.
I put a full size baffle under that breather and it has 2 layers of the stringy material inside as well. I hope to provide the "dry air" to the vacuum pump as required.
Below is a pic of the current setp to compare.

I really want to make that race. So, when I get home from Woodburn I will thrash and try to get the new engine in and the headers built and get it running. I think I will probably not make it, but you never know. I am going to try. That is one of my favorite races.
I even prefabbed the upper radiator hookup to save time. The upper is going to be different. I hope it works. It should be close enough.
I have tomorrow and the next day off and I am actually thinking of doing some prefab work on the headers.

I got home from Woodburn on Tuesday and.............I dropped the 501 in the Valiant yesterday evening. I will now build headers (about 3 weeks) and then see if she blows up! LOL
