It took some searchin' to pick those covers... I have a black set on the 350 in my Jimmy. The Wires came assembled. They are MSD-31809, the dist is MSD-85551. I also have the MSD Blaster HVC and Digital 6 Ignition Box.

All I can say it WOW!

Re: Whatcha got under the hood?
 

So clean, you could eat off it! What engine is it?

Re: Whatcha got under the hood?
 

350 GM Goodwrench create moter. I love it. The truck is my daily driver and the best part of the create is 3 year, 100,000 mile warenty. That was worth it. when I Graduate from High School the truck is mine and I will get out new alm intake, headers, rear end, and a drop will be going in.

Re: Whatcha got under the hood?
 

I don't have any pictures of it in the truck, but here's a few of my 383 still on the stand.

Hey, I thought we were looking for BIG BLOCK engine pics felles? :)

Little mice need not apply. :D

I have some newer pics at home, will post them tonight. 454 bored 060 to 468, fairly mild components. Should be just a tad over 500 HP and 500 TQ, engine built identical to another that dynoed those numbers.

EDIT: added a couple more pics as promised.

Re: Whatcha got under the hood?
 

Sharp truck!

I'm finishing the 454 install this weekend in anticipation of a shakedown cruise to Gatlinburg on the 12th - 15th.

Re: Whatcha got under the hood?
 

How the hell is the drivers side valve cover coming off if you want to adjust the rockers? Is that a new quick release vacuum booster...lol

Re: Whatcha got under the hood?
 

It was... I just didn't have the heart to tell them. What truck is that in?

Bishop Trucks: Man, you really need to find a home for that... it'd look awesome in my '57 Stepside!!!

Re: Whatcha got under the hood?
 

Airmale, the drivers VC comes off easily, with no need to remove anything. It is somewhat tight, but I have had it on/off several times. The angle of the VC's makes it doable...if they were the standard tall and flat versions...I think there would be issues.

Keck, I even have Harland Sharpe rockers under there.

Re: Whatcha got under the hood?
 

It is in my '73.

Re: Whatcha got under the hood?
 

Cool, u got a thread for the buildup?

.. Mine is just a bit over stock... building a 496 for the '57 later this year.

Re: Whatcha got under the hood?
