If you've never been to a Wednesday afternoon Beaches show in Portland -- ya ain't lived yet! They don't start up for awhile yet -- but often have 1500 cars -- and 600 murdercycles.... they start at 3:30is and runs til about 7:30 or 8:00... drags -- music -- food -- booze -- cars... what's not to like??

You'd also get to watch Old Gold hammer the track there like it's made of glue...

We should all meet up sometime in June when they start. Not the first week though cause it's the Rose Festival, and that's a guarantee that it will rain.

Dale part one above was great. Looking forward to part two!

I'm not seeing of lot of builds on this site going with the vinyl top look, Lol. The cosmetics on my car are pretty much all original so far.

I took a bunch of pictures today of the plumbing underneath the car to post. Are you putting your tank in the engine compartment or in the trunk?

Ron must have confused KTM with KY

Thanks Scott... It's good to get to know few guys on here

Sounds good, maybe we can get Tim out there to.

Here is a shot of the plumbing for the three scavenge lines on the oil pan. My engine was run on the engine dyno with the dry sump pump and measured 10 inch HG vacuum. The valve covers are completely sealed with no vents. The only vent is a 4AN line plumbed into the valley cover that goes to a remote breather.




Here are some shots showing how I routed the plumbing underneath.




You can see the plumbing in the left side of pictures tucked up next to the frame rail and sub frame connectors.




I also up-sized my exhaust to 3" all the way back for the new engine. I bought some mandrel bent tubes and had some tubes custom made...
then fit and welded the tubes. This was my first time to do my own exhaust.




These shots are from the back of the car looking forward... the oil lines go up into the trunk and attach to the oil tank.










I ran the oil lines up above the new cross member that came with the T56 Magnum... this worked out good to keep the lines away from the exhaust.

When I modified the tunnel for the T56 magnum trans I also cut a notch in the floor on the passenger side for the dry sump oil lines.
This allowed me to tuck the oil lines up above the exhaust to prevent heat damage. I used 1-1/2" square tubing... cut it to fit... and then welded all around.




This shows the clearance of the oil lines to the headers.




The oil lines are sitting on top of the sub frame rail.





Here is a shot of the oil lines going into the notch I cut in the floor. This worked out well and the lines have plenty of clearance from the exhaust.
The lines continue on and go up above the T56 trans cross member and then alongside the frame and sub frame connectors back to the tank in the trunk.

The oil lines are up above the frame rails the whole length of the run.
The oil lines do not go below the frame rails at any point.
