Very nice Rob! I have a question on the oil sending port you have it going up to the left head and crossing over to the right head ? Where are you getting your output for your dash gauge? On my Gurney they plugged the crossover ports on the heads and sent the tubes back with the engine? Roush was involved with the build and it has dyno time without issues so not sure why they plugged them off. Thanks for sharing.

Once you see the engine in the car, the full system will be clear.

Rob, the work in progress is very interesting, thank you for sharing. It seems that you assemble the clutch housing first o,n the engine bloc and then you assembled the gear box on the bell housing. Does it means that you did not put in place the 2 top screws that are supposed to be bolted from the inside of the bell housing to the gear box ?

the bell housing was fit and indexed, then removed mounted on the transmission. Here you can see the transmission was mocked up in the car so that hooking up the shift rods would be easier.

I have lot's of pictures but they all have to be resized to fit on the forum and that takes time, I just got lazy lol
