    Still up in the air on that honestly. I have ordered everything except an intake manifold for that very reason. I figured I'd sleep on it tonite and make a decision before weeks end.

    Dunno yet though. (I hate this part)

    Gonna do custom tower braces anyway so that wouldn't be too big of a hassle since I already palnned on it. I don't know I'll see what comes up in the JY the next time I go.

    yeah I like em too. I still have to clean them up a little bit more, but they are close to being done. i want them to look used, not polished or anything. I have been partial to these covers for years now. I used to run a polished set on my Fox body, but the dull slightly oxidized look is what I was after here.
    Looks tough to me.

    Looking good! I like those valve covers too. I have a set I pulled off an old Lincoln Mark VII in a junkyard because I liked them. Figure I'll use them on something one of these days.
