Re-restoration in progress for some vintage racing

Don’t reply to the monkey.
Say what ?

Thats nothing. With the current USD/AUD exchange rate, i should offload my WE gift from Mark. I will be able to light my cigars with $100 notes then.

For the life of me I can’t remember what that would be.
 
IMG_2727.JPG IMG_2728.JPG The motor is almost back together.As per anything I do with this car....I had to find some new valve covers to fit around the new rockers. The nice, aluminum fab'd covers that I had don't fit around the new rockers. Couldn't grind away enough material without going through the aluminum. After the last 2 snowfalls were cleared away, I ran the engine up North of town to a local race shop. They had a couple options that fit. I decided to go with less bling on this setup. Have everything clearanced and ready to weld. I just want a little warmer day to do the welding so I'm not shaking!
 
I think it's going to slow the car down. Why is their an oil fill in each valve cover?

Duuuh, so you can add the 9 quarts of oil twice as fast!

The VC's already had an oil fill opening in them. Instead of welding them closed, I decided to just add another fill point. These are stock (aftermarket) 351 valve covers I picked up new for $25.
