Re: Engine Dress up kit?
If you are dressing up a big block beware of the Edelbrock polished cast aluminum timing chain cover. It sealed fine but I had to grind a little off of my water pump to make it clear which really wasn't to big a deal but here is what ticked me off, the cast aluminum cover comes with the wrong timing tab.The tab that came with it is for a stamped steel cover not the cast one I had three veteran mechanics look at it so it wasn't just me. My parts dealer ordered another one for me to double check and it was the same so they sold me an adjustable one at cost which looks pretty cool.
2nd Edelbrock Elite valve covers look really cool but are way tall measure clearance to brake booster before buying, you probably need a 7" booster or hydroboost conversion to fit these covers in our trucks with a big block.
