Car does look great with those wheels Em

Not sure if you posted it already but last i checked you were up-in-the-air about the turbo choice but do you have an idea of what clutch you're going with on this build?

The turbo will be the same as last year (6766) and the clutch will be my tilton, as long as it lasts anyway.

Em,
Are you using that -6AN fitting on the front of the block as a crankcase breather?

I considered baffling that area internally and running a -8 or -10 breather to the catch can.... I'm not exactly sure how much clearance that will give me, so I'm a bit torn. If I put an AN hex plug there instead... I end up with more room for the turbocharger to tuck near the block.

are you running this directly to the catch can?
3 port catch can or delete one of the valve cover fittings?

Allready picked my block breather up!

Any reason for using aluminum rods in this car vs steel?

I heard they are not a suitable street rod and have to be re-torqued after limited use.

I run 4 ports in mine. We sell a dip stick tube with another -6 fitting on it as well.

I'm not really sure why people shy away from the Aluminum rods really. We have been running them in street cars and drag cars for year with no issues at all.

Hopefully late this week or early next. Still waiting on a few parts but should be petty soon.
