    heres what my motor will look like the aluminum valve covers where winning so i redid them with a good sand down and buff the painted them with some high temp aluminum paint. also did the intake while i was at it.
    so here it is just a few more pieces and it will totally be doneand ready to drop in.

    I like the covers as well.
    On the set I used I completely removed the filler tube, and used a grommet for a pcv valve that looks like a breather.

    i put the chrome breather on it to tie the covers in with the air cleaner and i left a little stem to have a good place to put the oil in to.
