It's back together....

Well, at last, here it is back together with new Shelby Heads and Edelbrock Performer RPM intake from Keith Craft.

Just took a first short drive and it seems to be running fine. Only things of note: Oil had blown out the rear goose neck breather. I'm running that breather and a PVC coming out of the right front valve cover. Maybe this is why the originals had an oil recovery tank on the fire wall??

Also may have a small water leak at the surge tank. Getting some water drips from there. Need to see if it's the seal with the intake, or a hole in the solder connection on the bottom feed tube.

Got my fingers crossed that this is the end of this story....but I've posted that before in this thread
