Thanks, Chris. I am ordering the driveshaft today, had to get the final measurements. It should be about 3 weeks and then the first drive.
I need to get better video, the last ones including the dyno were not very good...........................
After talking with @68 HEMI GTS (thanks 
) last night I decided to go with the Moroso breathers for the valve covers. The Barton covers do not have baffles and the breathers do. I don't need oil all over the fresh engine.................

I am pretty happy with the price for an aluminum 3 1/2 " driveshaft, chrome molly slip yoke to trans, and all u-joints (1350's), including free shipping at $681. I was thinking it would be much more than that.
Here is the company I decided to go with. I talked to 3 different ones as well as checked reviews.

Thank you Sir...........................
THANK YOU!!
See, now you can go ahead with the rest of the build. You're welcome. lolThank you Sir...........................
The driveshaft is ordered....................
There is a gentleman in Arkansas by the name on Ron Williamson that does gauges. He is very good. I don't have his contact info at the moment. Maybe be possible to convert it to use with regular electronic? Just a suggestion if you really wanted to keep the OG tach. Have been following along, great story and even greater build!!

That pic just went in my BA Cars folder!
Can't wait to see this car in-person at MITP!

Thank you! I called Autometer and they told me they were not aware of a way to use a mag tach on modern ignition.
However, it is worth a call. I assume this is him.

@69HemiDart - Please advise the part number for your selected Moroso breathers. I checked Summit.com but didn't see any with the threaded-in fittings.
Thanks in advance.
Called and the message said they are closed until the 25th. I will call back and check with him. Thanks
