finally have a sunny warm day, so I pulled the B2 out from under its hiding shelter.







I like the stance now that the springs have settled.

I actually never really liked the exo-cage look much. I like the look of my backhalfed B2 and the cage inside will hold the body intact in the case of rollovers without question.

when the body eventually does rag out completely, ill just fully tube it, skin it, and run it.

I see the pics of the OBA. I am assuming your low side (intake) ends a couple inches at the filter and the high side(output) runs to the tanks? How do you handle your lube? A mechanic here in TN said he did the mod and you have to retain the filter to prevent the oil from getting in the lines...... But I cant seem to get anyone to go into details about. I cant seems to find a detailed writeup either. Im looking to find out what parts are needed to be purchased new and what can be reused. How long did it take? Now that you have had it for a while how is the reliability?

the air filter is on a T w/ a cap on the backside. I remove the cap and shoot in a little lube while its running. inline oil seperator enroute to the tank.

New parts i bought was the filter and T fitting. some hose and seperator and a pressure switch.

First off, might I say that B2 is killer. Second, it's a little hard to tell what exactly you did with the Saginaw pump. It doesn't even look like you modified the bracket at all. Is that the case?! :headbang:

first off, thanks. and secondly, you got it, if you use the style pump i got then you dont have to modify anything. If you get the other saginaw pump with the GM bolt pattern on it, PSC makes an adapter that makes it bolt-on.
