Help me INSTALL a big block...Bought a 468!

Given my current focus on my 383 I'm interested in your fast EFI stuff. I think SBD said something first, but put me on the list.

Sent him a pm about an hour ago. I'll let you know what he says.

Very important question....

or

I really want the orange cast aluminum ones that say CHEVROLET on them, but I can't drop $400 on valve covers...

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Bow tie.... Nuff said.

where an MT is badarse, the E-brock is just about the ugliest vc eva imo... but I'm funny...

 

[Z71paramedic]

I really liked the M/T's too, but wasn't sure if they'd clear the roller rockers...

forgot to add these too

doesn't it have valve covers? Get it running then make it pretty. Do I always have to be the dad?

See statement above

Will those clear roller rockers? If so, I think those are sweet.

It's got really ugly, slightly rusted chrome POS's on it. Can't do it!

The M/t's have the self drippers over the rockers if someone has not removed them yet. If you grind them down a bit, yes they will work.

they sell paint. GET IT IN AND RUNNING!

Nice. I emailed him to ask how tall they are/if they've been clearanced already. Those would look sweet under my hood.

I like these.

eh, MT's are very dated.. it works sometimes, but not always...

I'm kinda partial to straight old fashioned tall alum polished with nothing on top... the chev logos are ok.. but i'm not big on lots of heavy ballmilling, etc... motors tend to be busy enough looking without a ton of stuff on the vc's imo...

like I mentioned earlier too, I've recently had a hankering to run the moroso anodized again.. like they've come back around into style...

and fabbed are always cool looking , but can be pricey...

 

[80' 427]

Gold Morosos or nothing.

Hey, found a pic of what I was talking to you this morning on the phone about. Little spacer on the drivers side.




and those "drippers"

 

[Z71paramedic]

so these

or these

 

[NorCal69]

top ones.

Thanks for the pics Mike. Did you have Kert make your crossmember like that or did you re-drill the holes on the c channel and make the spacer?

I just ordered the riser pieces and said I'd make the stuff fit.

What I can't figure out is why all chevy headers fan out like they do on the drivers side??? It looks like it would interfere in anything, not just our trucks.

I'm half tempted by some gibson mid-lengths. They look like they'd clear everything really easily but I don't want to lose any torque (there's gonna be a shortage)

Completely stole the entire idea from AJ. It's a couple hours worth of fabbing, but pretty easy.
