I have a question regarding this project that I am hoping a hemi expert might be able to help me out with. This kit comes with a dual oil filter external mount, but I have no idea where to route the oil lines. If it was a Chevy, it wouldn't be a question, as my dad was a racing engine builder when I was growing up. The only thing is, all he built were small and big block Chevys. But I do not see a filter location like what I would see on a Chevy block.

Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!!

Just started following this build, looks great so far, love the scratch building. I'm learning so much,and even started trying some myself.......Just a thought here, did you think of asking Stephanie Rose how she would like it to look? Growing up in a house full of women and now married with two daughters, the one thing I've learned is they have very definate ideas of what they want and like.

Here ya go Art.
This is the dual setup for a Hemi, and this is where it's mounted.

Hope this helps Art.

Art, is this an old 392 type Hemi or the newer 426 Hemi? The oiling systems might be different. I noticed you had a distributor location on the back of your manifold; to me, that indicates a 392 type Hemi but the oil system pictures look to be from a 426 Hemi- but I could be wrong. You might want to do a little research to be sure.

Thanks, Roger. You make a very good point... but, let's face it, I'm building this for me! I "hope" she likes it!

[Art Laski]

Corey, thanks for the reference pictures, but John is correct. I should have specified that this is a 392. Sorry about that omission...

No problem Art.

[Scott Colmer]

Wow, Art! This is really great stuff. I really like the guitar string rod ends! I'll have to try that one.

Hey Art...just checking in on this build. Sure miss seeing updates on this. Hope all is going well.

[Art Laski]

Hey Chris!

 

Thanks for checking in. I had to put this one on hold so I could concentrate on my long-term Corvette project. I just have to get that thing done by April, but I'm hoping to have this one done by then as well. I hope to back on it soon.
