Bracket looks pretty stout. Engine is hardcore! Why did you weld a filler cap on the valve cover?

Looks like Cecil on the 29th for some tnt. Ill run on 10.5 bs until everything seems solid and then switch to the radials.

Looks like one more week. Waiting on a different oil pump spring from Barnes. Old glass is out, new is not yet in. Welding in the bracket for the shoot, then installing the speed glass. Bracket had initially been installed with hose clamps.
