OMG, I love your valve covers! What's just beneath your valve covers? looks like spacers?
and the air cleaner is neat also! I have a cheap looking chrome air cleaner~:( the little devil on my shoulder is messing with me!;)

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Without boring down into the build to find a pics of the heads looks like adaptors for later center stud heads to use old style valve covers to fool the uninformed (LT1, no way look at the valve covers...). I looked at those covers for mine but price put me off. Now if Gary would adopt me.....

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

You just gave me a really good chuckle Orrie! Now just how much do those covers go for? Does the madness ever stop!:uhmk:

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Thanks! therye gm performance covers got them from summit racing, air cleaner is a knock off of k&n got it on ebay.

Correct! engine is a 98 vortec crate engine and my friend gave me adapters intake carb gaskets bolts etc when I purchased it from him.

Still have a few cool things to go on engine keep checking :chevy:

Re: My 1959 apache project
