OK I'm officially jealous!!! That thing looks awsome, so good that it's almost a shame to hide some of it in an engine compartment. NICE!!!

So you don't smudge the pretty covers while tightening the nuts.

I am using a 351C PS pump with my Mustang II R&P Steering. The pump is not mounted, it is laying on the engine bay.]

Those are March pulleys. They are for a 351W with normal rotation WP. I had an alternator bracket custom made to mount the alternator to the block instead of the head. My D1AE block has a 7/16-14 hole in the block, but the new D7TE block doesn't have that hole. I had to drill and tap the hole.

Is the one valve cover breather all you are running or do you have plumbing elsewhere?

There is a Billet PCV valve in the rear of the left (as you are looking at the motor) valve cover. I tried two breathers, but it spit oil all ove the covers. There is more plumbing to be added when the motor is installed.
