DRYSUMP's Yet Another Restoration Project...Project

[BlackBirdDaddy]

Nice covers!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

those covers look sick, I have heard they are prone to leaking but no personal experience. Let me know if you guys ever have a scratch and dent set of the cast (or billet not sure) ones you make though. So when are we going to see the new secret motor you bought? I'm guessing its a katech built 400+ci piece.

All in good time.... A big reason to why people experience the covers leaking is because they don't install them correctly. They're not self aligning so you have to be mindful when putting them on and make sure you have a good fit. The only blem set of covers we have is for a dry sump motor.

I wouldn't doubt that at all, seems like you guys have one of if not the best option for aftermarket covers that can accommodate large rockers, but damn these things get so stupid expensive its crazy, or I'm just a cheap ass.

As someone said earlier "BEAST". Looking forward to seeing finished project. Or are you just going to take it straight to daytona 500 and race it? LOL

How much are they boring that out to?

Making more progress guys! Finally finished cleaning and powder coating all of the nuts and bolts (never want to do that again), brake calipers are now assembled, interior is back together, crankshaft is being balanced and polished and also throwing in some more teaser pics of the engine
