I'd probably be more concerned with belt protection on a street driver. Not sure if you have a belly pan under the nose/engine? if so, I'd still want some protection from top in case the serpentine belt cam off, or broke, so that it wouldn't knock the dry sump belt off. Maybe that's overkill, but I put a shroud on mine. Very least, set up an oil pressure safety that kills the engine, in the ecu.

Much appreciated, I will shroud as you suggest and I agree with the loss of pressure engine kill. Thanks again!!

Mold is done, giving it a full week to cure before busting it out. Finally! 19 section mold. That was tedious.

The hours of labor in this project is unbelievable. Are you keeping track of them or is it something you really don’t want to know? Lol
You truly have an impressive one of a kind car. Keep up the great work because we are all dying to see this one completed.

Though some think it's no problem.

That will not be a problem at all. Think about the guys running the 6-71 and 8-71 blowers with the pulley mounted to the balancer. I’m sure the tension on that belt is nowhere near what’s needed for the blowers.

Everything looks amazing! You have mad skills! 🤙🏼

Mold done, demo'd the plug. Some cleanup on the mold before making the actual part.
