Joe, noticed in your photo of the engine complete left back that there is no tube to direct fan air into the crankcase breather. Also, the breather sits below the oil filter and is further hidden from the fan blast. Is this how the '40 356s are or did the taller breather and tube come later? I was of the understanding that crankcase ventilation was critical on these engines. Just an observation. By the way, things are really shaping up nicely. Thanks for sharing.
