New engine in, how's it look?
Second attempt at installing a 350 in my truck. Went with a stock-ish appearance. What do you think?

Re: New engine in, how's it look?
Great job! I'm digging the no-bling too. It just doesn't look right on some trucks IMO.

That's why I said stock-ish. It was a 6 cyl truck, I'm not trying to do a 100 point stock resto, just wanted a clean, stock-ish appearence. As stated above, there are benefits to the long setup. That's to all for the positive remarks. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: New engine in, how's it look?
I like the RH alt and LWP too. I think it looks great.
I'd look for some 'Chevrolet' script valve covers for it when I could .. but, that's just me  Or maybe some of the LT1 / DZ type filled aluminum ones (?) It would keep the stock feel but still not be blingy. I love those script covers for a stock look.

Re: New engine in, how's it look?
Looking good, man! I personally would have painted the intake to match, as well, but you do have some contrast so it works either way.

Re: New engine in, how's it look?
I'd love some lt style valve covers, but cost is a bit much for now, need to spend it on my camaro.
I'd thought about painting the intake, and still may. The water pump is aluminum as well, but I painted it. Also some details you can't see in pic, timing cover and valve covers have studs instead of bolts. Plug wires are black, moroso brand. Added hei distributor, jegs mini starter. Electric fan one an aluminum radiator that I painted black. Posted via Mobile Device
