Here are some other pictures from when I did the swap to a doghouse, changed linkage and ignition. Since then, Ive realized my motor really needs a breather setup and thats when all hell broke loose. I've had this motor in and out many more times than I care to mention, so I want this to be the last time. I picked up new pulleys (Billet alt. and black equalizer pulley), fuel block off with AN8 fitting, AN fittings for the webers, found an old school berg tower on thesamba.com, had a guy out of state fab some valve covers for me (AN8), ordered a black cap for the dizzy and I ordered a whole mess of braided line and black fittings to go with it for the breather and full flow setup. So here are the pictures of all that. As of now, I still need to order the fittings to run the fuel line, just dont know how I want to do it yet. Next will be pulling the engine tin and having it modified to FIT correctly (no gaps anywhere), then having all the tin, manifolds, etc powdercoated. Also contemplating ceramic-coating the Sidewinder header in black. Oh, and I plan to run a velocity stack filter as well. I've babbled long enough, here are the pictures.

Lastly,
Here I am. The lines just came in and now comes putting them together. I'll let you guys know how that goes. Also, any ideas regarding fuel line are welcomed as well. I was just going to run the same line with fittings (AN6) with a tee to the carbs. But Ive been browsing and see that some include regulators as well as PSI gauges. Not that its necessary, but only want to have to do this right the first time.

I love the black AN fittings! Are they more expensive than the regular blue/red ones?

Not necessarily. It depends what brand and where you buy from. I got all my stuff online from ebay, so I got a better deal, but then again, Ive been researching black fittings/lines for about 6 months now...lol.
