Re: My 58 Brookwood

Looking awesome. I like those valve covers on the LS3. A bit of old school flare with the fins. Where did you find them? Is the harness a holley terminator?

Re: My 58 Brookwood

We got the right MAP sensor in today and mounted it
I think it looks clean on the back of the intake
Here’s that LS3 in the engine bay. Just can’t get enough of that sick looking MF'er!
