Re: Here we go!!!
Everything is looking great, especially the engine! Did you just weld some alluminum tubing on the valley cover and press in the factory oil fill tube?

Re: Here we go!!!
That is correct,I had the machine shop machine the hole in the aluminum tube , then welded it to the plate I had made, then hammered a factory tube into it. Hope this makes sense?

Re: Here we go!!!
I had already painted the valley plate before I came up with the idea for the oil tube

Re: Here we go!!!
Yeah that looks great! That's a really cool idea on these LS engines to give them more of a vintage touch! Well done sir!
