No sign of any leaks, so far, but I'll check it all over again tomorrow.

Am I pleased....you bet

Congratulations - what a fabulous feeling when you have built the engine yourself. Well done. The oil pressure sounds very good. I've tested mine and thought 30-35 psi was good at tickover when warm, and around 60psi at raised revs, but you are holding around 50psi when warm at only tick over - those new shells were obviously worth it!

......I think your Street rod looks pretty good as it is now - just leave the rest of the body work off!
