Yesterday was a stressful work day, so I took this out, to have a look at. Because this makes me happy. 
I've been waiting for a car like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a car like you
A love that will survive
I've been waiting for something new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a car like you
To come into my life.
Project update:
If you prefer, it could be the state of the -AN union address.
I found/ordered a very compact 1qt coolant header tank and we earmarked a spot for it on the firewall. That should be it for the cooling system (V1, at least).
Virtually all of the engine compartment termination points have -AN fittings attached, the fuel pressure regulator has a home, as does the external oil pressure relief valve.
New fuel tank and oil coolers are on their way, the fuel surge tank arrived last week, and so did the new fuel cap. Well, new to me, but used for some time on a Cessna.

Space planning worked out nicely. New 15gal. aluminum fuel tank fits perfectly, with enough space alongside, to mount the fuel pumps, surge tank, filters, hoses, fittings, . . .
Removed the dry sump pump again, to turn it 180°, in the mounting bracket. (In/Out turned in opposite directions.)
I was really happy about not adding triangulation in the front part of the frame. I was able to rotate the pump out of the hole. Yes, serviceable is a word I like.

Still dealing with oil pump issues.
On the opposite end of the car, there's been progress as well.
Just laid in place for the sake of coordination. I think we're in really good shape for fitting all of the pumps and filters outboard from where the surge tank is shown in that photo. We'll push everything as far to the passenger's side as possible, before locking it down.

Good conversation with Leo from Barnes about options and decided on the TRD style bracket and I'll cut new ones for the engine side. That'll reconfigure the in/out locations and keep the driveshaft more or less on its current centerline.

He said that it came from some NASCAR team. That they each had special wishes on pump configurations. This one was made without an internal pressure relief valve, so we are using an external one. Apparently, this would have been used on a Chevy.
