Update -
Got the intake back from the machine shop and the pushrods are being made now.
Finished up the cap ends of the plug wires. I had to buy a single MSD 8.5mm wire and re-do the #8 wire (too short) Can you believe a single wire costs $35!?

If a man speaks while in his garage and his wife does not hear it, is he still wrong?

Glad to hear about your friend!
I'm surprised you didn't have to wait til March for the plug wire.

yessir… almost cheaper to buy a whole spool I think!
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.

I glued the gasket material to the flange then I cut out the port openings and bolt holes with an exacto blade.

I bought another cleanable oil filter for my engine, this one is much smaller and wont interfere with the oil pump pick up line, I bought it from Bob Mazzolini Racing. it's expensive but I sold my System 1 filter for $100 so that made it easier to swallow. It is really trick. it's machined from billet and comes with a socket to install & remove it. Id say the only draw back is it will reduce the total oil capacity of the engine.

- [INDENT]More assembly, getting closer. I had to "install" both rocker assemblies twice. The left side had the exhaust rockers in the wrong spots so I had to remove it, swap rockers and re-install. Then on the right side I forgot to make sure the rocker shaft spacers were in the right spots, so I removed to check - good thing I did because the right side rockers would have been oil starved.
