Will modified my dipstick to go to the bottom of the pan. He drilled a hole that allowed the dipstick to go through the windage tray and all the way to the bottom. Once I top off the oil, I'll have a better idea of if I need a longer dipstick but that part was taken care of during the motor build.

You were right about the header and the clearance. It wasn't touching but it was sooooooooooooooooooooo close that I had to do something about it. So this is what Andy did for me on that part.



And I've put all the accessories on the car, only to find out that my belt is too short for the ATI pulley. So now I have to find the right length belt to work, because it's too short.

Here's the motor as she sits as of today.





Here's the exhaust passenger side clearance



drivers side



And the end as of now



Once I figure out if I can break down my Power Effects pipe in order to make them mate up to the extensions, then I'm going to finish them off with these cans



I also still need to wire up my E-pump but it fit like a glove. I had to take the temp sensor off in order to get it in there, but that wasn't a big deal
