I just remembered one of my older trucks had an oil fill tube at the front of the intake and it had a breather cap on it. Allowed the engine to breathe with solid valve covers and came out so you could fill it with oil.

Adding an oil fill tube to the front of many newer intakes is possible. Lots of the ones I have had were designed with a flat area up front so you could drill them out and install an oil fill tube. Yours may have an area for this too.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
That looks like it is built to last. Much better than some of the 4 beam settups I have seen. Will this help with the rigidity of the whole bed?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i think i might have at tendenacy to overbuild.... probably wont help the rigidity because it will be hinged with gas struts. my rear bed mount has stayed where it was from the factory and my front mounts are very solid mounts so i dont think i will have any issues with rigidity

Mine has resorted back to an expensive pile of parts too by way of removed carburetor. Waiting on my mechanic to clean it. Stupid fuel filter malfunctioned again and allowed trash through. Promptly bought new fuel filter. Argh!!! Still reaping 'benefits' of first body shop (trash allowed into gas tank).
