68 Valiant Hellcat Swap

-
Looks great hemi valiant 57 !! I am working on a hellcat swap also, just installed the same Milodon oil pan/pickup as you, what did you end up using for a dipstick and tube? As you know already, the original cast aluminum oil pan has the dipstick going directly into it, with the new oil pan we have to remove the plug from the side of the block for the dipstick.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for keeping us up to date on your build.

Very nice work! Looks like you will have it going in short order.
 
It's been a while but progress on the car hasn't stopped. Actually finished over the winter. I will post the progress pictures up until now...

Shortened the rear end to get the deeper dished welds to fit
