This was about a minute after wiping clean.

It that damage from the header hitting the ground?

Yes. #1, they hang lower than I would like but are equal length primaries and #2, my front shock settings had the compression way too loose with the SB springs. If I would go through an intersection with a large dip at any high rate of speed the compression would sometimes smack the header on the pavement.

That's an easy fix, just slow down when you through a large dip, Lol

Sanded down the pan and plastered some JB Weld on the bottom last night. Will let it set up until tomorrow before filling and crossing my fingers! Felt very "bubba-like" and wrong using JB weld on my car....but it is only temporary.

In other news, I did get a rather nice package yesterday so may be that counteracts the negative voodoo from my oil pan fix.

Prices start at a staggering $800 for carb'd applications and go up to about $1600+ depending on if you opt for the VaporWorx. Mine is not a VaporWorx but does have an upgraded internal fuel pump to a Walbro 400 liter per hour pump.

Mine was approximately $1300 shipped. It uses the stock filler location but includes an aftermarket, screw-on cap (haven't actually checked but this was discussed when ordering the tank) so hopefully no more fuel leaking out the back when full and accelerating. I could have easily saved many hundreds and went with a Spectra EFI tank but it seems that they still don't have the baffling worked out to prevent the pump from starvation when driving aggressively (even with the supposed update.) Had I been on a budget, I would mostly like tried the Spectra EFI tank.
