Re: Doing alot of upgrades

Hey fellers, it seems like it has been a month since I got to play around with my truck as I've had that flu bug going around and haven't felt like doing much of anything. I did get to play some today though. Here is where I'm at right now. I'm waiting on a couple of parts from Summit and I should be ready to break the cam in. I didn't think that big block was so wide until I put the tall valve covers on. The right side fit good but the left was a little tight. Other than that everything went together pretty good. I hope that I'm going to be able to use my old Team G but the shortest adapter I could get was 1.75 so you add the carb & breather to that and hood clearence is getting close. If I was not going for looks so much I would run a dual plane intake but I like that tall look and a Dominator carb is too much for street driving. Anyway, here are a few pictures Name:  new valve covers.jpg
