the valve cover after surgery.looks better,and gives more hood clearance.

i also had to modify the right side header some more,too.the top front loop was too close to the spring,so it needs to be kicked in a bit.

some cutting and welding later,i should have about 1 1/4'' between the header and the spring now.

Looks good Tom, but I have to ask... how are you going to fill it with oil now?

i just use a long life oil.



actually,if you look at the head just below the valve cover there is a fitting bolted on.this is the crankcase breather.it has a removeable filter cartridge,and when removed opens a 1 1/4'' diameter passage to the crankcase.this will be the oil filler now.it's just as easy as using the original fill cap,in virually the same location,but out of the way.

I see, sounds like a solid plan.

my original idea was to relocate the filler cap to the rear of the motor somewhere,then i got to looking at the breather,and figured why make more work for myself.that'll do it.

How sharp is that angle at the bottom of it? It looks like there is a pocket in there. Would it be worth while to cut the flange of and weld on a smooth piece of bent tube the same size as the filter to use as a breather/filler?

for how often it needs to be used as a filler,i don't think it'll be an issue.the car will hardly be used,so once a year should be all the oil changes it'll need.

da-yum

getting there,huh.

no ttb though
