Geetting to put the final touches on. All the stuff for the oiling system have finally arrived.
Dual line swining pick up going in this time.
Had to bring the motor mount and headers in to make sure evrything would clear. It's tight but it works.
Final install.
Lines are all in
With any luck we may be on the pump this Fri. Couple other motors are slated before mine can go on but if all goes well
If not then Tues

A plate is not out of the question. Still have to see how everything will tuck into the car.
The first thing we did when we got the balancer is remove all those screws and add Loc Tite.
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
Unfortuantly the quest for a time slip will have to wait till April
Hope I still know how to drive

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

I'll run a long MP filter when it goes in the car
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 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 I'll be at the Columbus swap meet this Saturday so I won't be able to attend the Dyno session this time

Have you thought about pre filters in the oil lines.
Never heard of them before
I'll look into it
