HG's Dream Car Build - Shelby Cobra Kit

[hgs_notes]

The heads are ready to pick up so I'll get those tomorrow. The mid position shifter was delivered. I worked on the oil pump pick up tube today and luckily it turned out fine. I used a pickup from a sbc, removed the tube and welded that hole shut. Then modified the coyote tube for the right depth of the shallow pan. It took a lot of measuring and removal, trimming and reinstalling to get it right. I thought I had it but then there was some interference with the tube so I had to hammer it flatter in a spot for clearance. I cut off the bracket and reconfigured it to work with the new setup. Overall I'm happy with it and I saved about $100 vs buying one. The pan to pick up clearance is supposed to be .25-.5" and I'm right at .25" without the gasket. Perfect!

Over the next couple weeks I'll be reassembling the engine. I think I need a few more parts yet.
