Mr. Ordy Are you using the Chev length rods and journal size? After I re-did the seal groove and assembled the third time I got 535HP and 600FP. I'll send you a PM with the spec sheet. Over flow can is from the local tool store, KMS Tools, but they sell them everywhere. Look nice but one has to take the cap off to see the fluid level. This one holds the same amount that the rad and engine overflow. It's full when hot but empty when cold. I still have to take the rad cap off to see the fluid level, it's always full. I made some brackets from stainless steel. You're better off to go with a plastic can as you can see the level at a glance. I'll send some pics when I get a chance.
Mr. Bronze Bird, Your car is just as nice under the hood as it is with the hood closed. My bracket worked with the Performer but I had to shorten it with the RPM. I also tried an aftermarket valley pan but it was junk so I spent a few hours hammering out the stock one.
Mr. Goose, Looks like oak? I needed the tall covers to clear my rockers.
