just in case, check the rails on the covers and make sure your rockers arent hitting them. I never thought about it, and read it somewhere, pulled mine off and checked, sure enough they were hitting enough to put metal in my oil. I had to clearnace them slightly. They may be ok on yours, but hate for you to hurt a motor because of something so simple.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't believe they are touching, but I will check it. Thanks for the heads up. FWIW the seal up great and haven't leaked a bit. Eric L

And I also added a crankcase evap port to my driverside cover. I just did a bulkhead fitting rather than weld one in, just in case I changed the design in the future, I could change fittings easier. Eric L

The car ended up weighing 2950 with me, my toolbox, and a full tank of fuel. So probably 2900 race weight. And the weight bias is 50.2 percent on the front and 49.8 on the rear. It hooks HARD. Eric L

That car is great!
The Mopar guys are hyper-brand loyal and unfortunately, are slow to accept and adopt something as drastic as a engine brand swap.
You should post this car up on www.forabodiesonly.com and the race section of www.moparts.com
