[QUOTE="beckmanracing, post: 505829, member: 6916"] Hadn't thought about line of sight with respect to the lowest clearance point of the axle - very good idea. I'll get a few more pics of the "shop" up tomorrow. Got a little more work done over the weekend. Some genius decided it would be a good idea to leave vast openings in the intake manifold - permitting the entry of debris into the lifter valley should a valley pan not be used. Alas, valley pans are quite thin and our sport is not as clean/dry as the inside of a typical streetcar. As I figured it, if the valley pan is exposed via the openings in the manifold it will simply fill up and rust through... This area also doesn't strike me as the easiest place to keep clean, so I welded all the openings in the manifold closed. My pro-tig 185 wasn't too happy about welding up essentially a massive aluminum heatsink, took the majority of an evening to git-r-done. Beyond the manifold I managed to complete the blower installation and get the top half of the motor wrapped up minus a couple sensors. On to the next issue, an oil pan designed to go on the motor, just not with a girdle - time to fire the tig back up... [/QUOTE]
