So, one item that appears missing from the engine compartment photo is the oil puke/vapor/recovery tank, which is mounted on the firewall on the passenger side. I'm no expert by any stretch, but most 427 Cobras came with them and maybe someone has added it already along the way, but the photos don't reflect it.

I copied the info below re: connections from an old post from Tom Kirkham, since I have no clue :

"The overflow tank (puke tank) has the following conections:

1. 3/8" line transmission and on some orginal cars their is a T on the transmission also going to the diff.

2. 3/4" line going to the back of the intake manifold. On some cars this is a clear line so you can see if their is water in the oil.

3. 3/4" line on upper right side is road draft tube.

4. 3/4" line on lower right side is oil return to the oil pan."


Also, if the oil pan is not an Aviaid, then you may want to get one or a similar product like Armando for originality purposes, if so desired.
