3' feet of dash 8an Billet Fuel rail! Collecting parts for my intake, still deciding what I want to do, might chop up a cast ported intake and make it into something cool or save my money and do some billet runners etc.

Man this is one "trick piece from RCR racing" The previous dry sump tank I bought, one of the sections had some dents, Im not experienced enough to keep workign them out yet so I bought this other section that has a billet double bypass oil filter system similiar to the oberg style completely built in. Check out the pics it is unbelievable.

Im going to cut the bottoms of each tank off and have a water jet flange cut out so I can weld them directly to the tanks and eliminate the clamp style system the patterson systems have and go to something more similiar to that of the peterson styles.

Did some work on my dry sump tank today. The Patterson style tank uses a clamp style system. I felt that this could be more like the Peterson style where two aluminum rings bolt to each other with a o ring groove machined in between them as a seal.

The tricky part was not deforming the tank in anyway, cutting the flange off and making the cuts and halves straight. I think I did a pretty good job. I used the current clamp and seal as a guide and basically grind-ed down to the line. Worked pretty well and the two halves are level. I might continue to reduce the bottom portion of the tank, but going to wait until determine how much oil my whole setup will need. The tank is huge.

I ordered two 1" NPT x 4.5" long 120volt 500 watt oil tank heater probes for the bottom section of the tank and two 1" NPT aluminum weld bungs.

I plan on purchasing the metal in the next couple days for a lot of my car machining projects. Ill then have to have the tank flanges cut, drilled for bolts, and welded. Stay tuned.

Hope all has been well! I have been pretty busy back at school, but just still collecting parts and moving forward. As you can see Ive hunted down alot of parts and accessories to get everything moving when the time comes.
Hope you enjoy!
