Jim You know nothing on these cars is easy. 2"/2.25 stepped primaries. I guarantee they will not be one piece units.

Reminds me of the Bass-O-Matic's slicing power.

Were you at the shop watching me cut it. Cuz you are probably spot on with that clip.

My tank is a used Peterson ALMS unit, 4 gallon capacity. Here is one of GWs favorite blurry photos of it.



On the dyno 12 quarts got the oil level where we wanted it. In the car the lines will be longer so I'm sure I'll be adding a quart or more.

You can start it without pre heating. Warm up time with 12+ quarts of oil may be a little while. I'm going to run a C&R radiator with a heat exchanger for the oil. We'll see what the morning warm up time is like without pre heating. I will have a heat probe in the tank and will add an external heat band if needed.

So as of now I don't know any more about the oil warm up than you.
