Let's try this one more time, are you happy now? :grin:

What's the tray in the valley for? That to keep oil off the bottom of the intake? I'm relatively sure that's not a "broken parts catcher" like they sell for Chevys:HappyNewYear:

Plum, keep up the good work and keep us updated with pics.

That looks great, can't wait to see more pics of progress.

Moving right along. :yes:

hurry up and you can help finish up mine

It's alive!
