Currently out in the shop trying to figure out what's wrong with the transbrake. Grrrrr.

I think a couple pages back I posted up pics of how I'm doing it. There's a single -10 feed that runs into the back of the engine. It then Y's into twin -8's (one per rail.) then off the front of the rails there are twin -8's that 90 out and run beneath the manifold to the regulator, and then from regulator to -6 return line.

Are those Holley valve covers? Everything is coming together and looking great man! Are you going to drop the motor in with all the accessories on it?

Yep they're Holley! Thanks man! I'm going to stuff it all in with all the accessories, minus turbo and manifold. It should fit nicely

I finally got pushrods ordered today. That was a 2 day ordeal. The measurement came out to 7.955" which gives me .030655" preload cold and ~.023" preload hot. Thankfully that gives .003" of wiggle room for the pushrod ball ends to be off. What an awful job to do when Lunati calls for .020-.030" of preload min/max
