Nice job on the motor, love the front end setup. I'll have to stop by one day and check it out you might have to let the seal swell up some and let is season. I know it sounds crazy but after I did mine I had a small leak and it stopped after a few miles of running it, if it doesn't stop by then you might have to pull it apart again. these things are famous for leaking even with a new rear main.

Thanxs man lot of work and lot of money later..but it felt good to fire it up..at least i know it runs..very aggresive loud it sounds like a beast..ill keep check the leak i hope it stops...i really dont want to pull the tranny .....but if thats the only problem i can live with that

I have those same valve covers sitting in my room(been in the box for the past year) Did you need to put a spacer between the upper and the lower because it looks like without one the valve covers wouldn't clear or am I wrong? I'd love to put my set on.

yes i used a 1" spacer for the intake then i had to modify the throttle cable bracket to fit cuz it hit the valve cover
