Geetting to put the final touches on. All the stuff for the oiling system have finally arrived. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

Dual line swining pick up going in this time. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scope.gif)

Had to bring the motor mount and headers in to make sure evrything would clear. It's tight but it works.

A plate is not out of the question. Still have to see how everything will tuck into the car. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)
The first thing we did when we got the balancer is remove all those screws and add Loc Tite. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)
So far so good

With all that fancy hardware, PLEASE coat the headers! Or at least get a can of silver BBQ paint...LOL!
We've lived through the issues, I think I can say for all of us...BEST OF LUCK this time around!
Any chance of a time slip this late in the year back there??
I agree that something has to be done about the headers ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh2.gif)
Unfortuantly the quest for a time slip will have to wait till April ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif)
Hope I still know how to drive ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1343795-scratchchin.gif)

Looking good. Hope all goes well with the newly freshened bullet.. BTW I know all about parts headaches and feel your pain.

Bill, the motor looks AWESOME! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) You have a lot of time and money invested. Im only questioning 1 thing... the Fram oil filter ? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eeek.gif) Ive personally witnessed a mishap with one and have read some bad reports here on moparts about them as well. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) no disrespect to you or the builder. just an FYI ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beer.gif)

I'll run a long MP filter when it goes in the car ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)
I had this one in the garage so I figured at least use it on the dyno and save a little where I could.

Motor lools great Bill! Money well spent on the Charlie's pan and Milodon pump and pick up ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) Been thinking about ditching my HP-1 for a System 1 or other style screen type filter. Probably save some coin in the long run Hope to see some numbers posted this weekend ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif) I'll be at the Columbus swap meet this Saturday so I won't be able to attend the Dyno session this time ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)

Have you thought about pre filters in the oil lines.
Never heard of them before ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)
