I know exactly what you mean with the school thing tj. It has been very stressful for me lately as well and the only reason I'm able to get in some truck time is because I haven't been working many hours lately. Hang in there and summer will be here in no time. Oh and I think bare aluminum would look good

Thanks man! Yeah, still undecided. haha!

And it looks gooood in the sun! :chevy:

I feel like this is a stupid question, but what are the machined plates (w/ bowtie) on the side of the motor for? Are they for aesthetics only or are they actually covers?

Not a stupid question at all! The side covers cover up the push rods and lifters. Lotta oil passing through there. lol The stock side covers were to plain for my taste so I went with those. :chevy:
