Rods a little worse for the wear, and definitely needed a little cleaner lube stuff, but all in all, no windows or puzzles were made . .
And you had fun . . .

The only oil pan I could get back when I built this bullet, was a Milodon circle track pan with right side pickup. THIS time I shortened the pickup tube so it is centered, added a baffle to encase the pickup and added an extension to the bottom to flood the pick up. Also added a windage tray as they didn't make them for this application way back when.
As built at Milodon..
Floor extension, Nut serts and locktite..the holes are to clear the windage tray studs.

Bullet is back in the chamber, just awaiting the arrival of my new Flow Kooler water pump to finish buttoning it all up.
