    Those look like stock late model valve covers.They will clear rollers but not girdles.

    I have aftermarket fuel rails on the way. I will be using -8 feed and -6 return. Sumped factory fuel tank.

    Best regards,

    If you are going to run E85, you may not even need an intercooler. The alky in there will have a tremendous cooling effect. There is a story in one of the car rags about a big block Nova making well over 1000 hp with turbo's and E85 and he said even on a warm day FROST will form on the intake. Don't know if it is true but thats what he said.

    Wow. Dog dishes, Rust, Flat black, a turbo and E85?
    You are my kind of guy! The E85 is the icing on the cake.
    Very damned cool...
