[LEB Kris]

Its different. I pick a new color every time I build myself a motor. Next one will most likely be red

To make yourself feel better, just call it "Light Red" Chris.

That build is looking wild. Keep us updated.

Pickup bolted on


FRPP 1 piece oil pan gasket


The problem with the 1pc gaskets with the steel core is that all the holes are 1/4 and its really difficult to enlarge the 4- 5/16" bolt holes without screwing up the gasket.

LEBs solution 5/16x1/4 stainless studs


Fits real nice


Canton 7qt pan with internal baffles


Tap the little half moon key in and smoke a cigar while you make balancer soup


Cook on high for 20min, stirring occasionally.


Slide it on.


Slather some anti-seize on both sides of the spacer and slap it on

Pretty........ Except the autolites... Why no NGK's?

 

[LEB Kris]

I have nothing against NGKs but I like the Autolites.

Fair enough.. I've never had luck with autolites.

 

[LEB Kris]

I guess my only selling point is I understand the hot/cold numbers on the Autolites
