Enjoyed your visit the other day, now you have your ride home time to get to work and bolt every thing back together.
Your new engine sounds incredible by the way, it should have no problem pushing the HiTech down the road, that's for sure!

Thanks Buzz.
We installed a new set of better flowing mufflers so the new engine can breath.
The old rubber engine mounts had collapsed enough to the point of the pipes hitting the body so we made up a set of engine mounts as well.

Thanks for the great comments,
David really has done a great job on this project.
We are having fun coming up with new ideas and trying some proven ideas to try and sort out a few issues that pop up with building and owning one of these cars.
Here is a nice part I made up for the engine fuel system, this fuel log is insulated inside the outer tube, then David powder coated it gray.

I made this stainless oil pan girdle up for the big 496 as there where a few small oil leaks, Job well done on the install David.
The following is from David.
My original iron block had an Aviaid pan on it for 20 years. Multiple rebuilds on that block, and multiple new gaskets. Always leaked.
New Pond aluminum block with new Aviaid pan. There were multiple leaks around the pan, a bit more leaking occurred at the rear of pan.
The photos taken today show the oil pan after driving about 180 miles since the installation of the girdle. 130 of those miles were in Arkansas while cruising through the Ozark Mountains last week. There were quite a few runs above 6,000 rpm. There is zero indication of oil leaking anywhere around the pan. The frame of my car has never been this oil-free. Prior to installing the girdle, a 20 mile drive would leave multiple oil drips on the frame.
I feel the Aviaid pan's flange isn't sufficiently rigid to provide uniform clamping of the pan, 2 gaskets and 1 windage tray.

This is a nice project we are working on for the HiTech, front wheel inner fender vents, the goal here is to try and let some of that engine heat out.

I should be able to give you some feed back on the effects soon, David is one of those special customers that allows me to run free with the ideas and details, on his car.
He's also great help around the shop, just getting him here is the hard part!!  |

Craig, show 'em a photo of the rear side.
The vent screen has a 1/2" offset toward the foot box. I asked Craig to provide the offset to compensate for the tire rubbing during full turn of the steering, that exists in both fender wells. The gauge of the stainless mesh is stout and I'm certain he had to be a bit fastidious to achieve the nice finished units.
