OH YEA!
Those valve covers are huge.
Are you smuggling contraband over the border?

A little detail .. a nice durable road race motor .. some circle track parts, some nascar parts .. hydraulic roller cam. Now this will motivate me to button up this project. All well within budget ..not breaking the edge of technology .. not the test platform for new parts .. tried and true.

No just a little titanium, stainless steel and some alumimum .. LOL
Re the stud girdle shown: Ridgeway's 3-bar street/track girdles will fit under 'Detomaso' or Ford-HO cast valve covers with no alterations, except removing the tin splash baffles from the covers. Things are very tight but stock twist-in breather caps & PCV valves fit and one can add oil as-stock. Mine have been in place since 1991 with zero trouble. NASCAR-grade girdles are bigger and stiffer for the 9000+ rpms they turn, so they need bigger valve covers. I recommend a stud girdle on Panteras as insurance: if a rocker stud breaks, the engine will run normally at lower rpms to get you home without a tow truck.
That's too pretty to get dirty Ron. Did you get dyno numbers on it?
Boss ... you maybe right I havent tried the other covers .. and I have an assortment of them. These look bigger in the picture then they really are.
Doug .. just the man I was looking for ... no OLSEN sold his DYNO 1/2 way thru my engine .. siad its not profitable ... so who's around to dyno this for me ?

Load it into the truck and take it up to Joe LaPine in Danbury (Danbury Competition). I don't see why he wouldn't still have the dyno.
Call him first. I've got the number around here somewhere but you can get it from information.
It was $250 to run it but that was then and now is now. Dyno headers could be the issue.
Give him a shout. It can't hurt.

Beautiful motor, Ron! Time to finish that beast.
Ron, how about some engine details?
Looks sweet!
