thanks glen, in this pic i put the original longer zoomies back on, they have more sweep to them, :) and painted the front motorplate black, im converting to a fuel pump front drive cam cover,  so future pics wont have the belt drive,   :)

Perfect guys!  thanks for the pics.  Gives me a good starting point!  I have what feels like 50 ft of fuel, oil and water lines to run and then the linkage and we should be all set.  Not many changes from last year except the engine.  No major car changes.  Is it March yet?
