Hi Rob, is the roof aluminum? I just noticed the row of rivets on one of the pictures.

yes, and it's a lightweight chassis so the seats are suspended and not in seat pans, also the spare tire cover is aluminum.

Very nice Rob! I have a question on the oil sending port you have it going up to the left head and crossing over to the right head ? Where are you getting your output for your dash gauge? On my Gurney they plugged the crossover ports on the heads and sent the tubes back with the engine? Roush was involved with the build and it has dyno time without issues so not sure why they plugged them off. Thanks for sharing.

David, I’m guessing you have the T&D rockers? If they have needle roller bearings on the pivots, they should only need splash lubrication. The original rockers were bushed, and had pressurized oil.

Getting closer to the tune
