Better on the inside of your valve covers than the inside of your oil pan! :smoke:

As for modifications I added an oil fill bung and cap and 2 -6an fittings for the pcv system. If you want more info let me know.

Where did you get the oil fill bung from? I'm looking to do this same thing to mine soon.

Thanks Mike. I am sure I will be calling you when it is time to cut them on my CNC. Its been a while since I have touched CAD software but appreciate it.

I'm also modeling some of the other badges for our trucks that can be customized. I may offer them in the future to the guys looking for a quality billet badge if it looks like there is demand.

Nice work Brandon.

What CNC are you getting? I've been VERY serious lately about picking one up myself.

Thanks! I'm picking up a Tormach 1100. Price is right and know a few guys running them. Hoping to keep it busy enough with design and machine work to eventually get a Haas. If you need anything just let me know.

Dont mind my wiring and air line mess, will be cleaning all that up soon!

Also spent some time Sunday modeling more badges. This one is designed to do any motor combination and I will also have an LS X version done soon!
