Re: engine pics

Nice job!. Did you ever have any trouble with the old anodized valve covers leaking?. I remember the blue ones.

rims are 15x8

tires front are 235 70
rear are 275 60

I am hoping to get new rims and go with a wide tire in the rear but not sure.

Those are steel braided hoses, or, more likely, steel braided covers for the hoses. You can fund them at any performance parts place.
