The 496 is all put together minus the oil pan. The oil pan just came in today. (Thanks Mike Lewis). I am trying to get the car as ready as I can before I haul it to 72Nova's house for the engine install on Saturday.

Last couple of things left to do and have questions: I am changing from a column shift to a floor shift. The shifter piece that sticks out on the steering column in the engine bay....do you remove the piece or do you just cut it off? Does it matter? I don't think the summit headers will fit if I leave it.

Thanks for all the help everyone, we are almost there.:hurray:

Congrats on the new engine build!!

I left mine on...it does not matter unless you want to 100% correct. You don't notice it really.

You are welcome :thumbsup:
That got there really quick, I just ordered in on Monday I think.
I assume the p/u was with it?
Thanks again & sorry for the delay on the other pan,,

Yes the pick up was with it. And yes that was quick but couldn't have gotten it any later. It worked out and that was all that matters. Since I didn't get the dipstick, do I get a 1/4 compression fitting and use my old dipstick?

Far as I know Milodon still uses the standard "press-in" stock type tube but I don't have one here to look at
If it does not have threads it takes a standard tube

Great, thanks.

Wildman...thanks for the input. I will leave it for now then and not worry about it. At some point I will take it off. I just didn't want to run into clearance issues with my summit headers.

I have a pic HERE of my new 496 and you can not even tell it is there. Hope this helps
