My motor came today....YEAH!!!!!

So leave the valve covers or go with chrome?

70c10 · 03-19-2003, 10:04 PM

Mike, that looks awesome. Keep those valve covers!

1969 GMC · 03-19-2003, 10:22 PM

Forget chrome, those look sweet!

And fast, too...I bet you get an additional 10-15 rear wheel HP with those bad boys

67cst · 03-19-2003, 10:29 PM

that is probably the most gorgeous thing ive ever seen..actually it is

DanoDMano · 03-19-2003, 10:42 PM

Mike, that thing makes me sick!!! (With envy)

You gotta let me see it when you are done.

**Palf70Step** · 03-19-2003, 10:45 PM

Keep em. Man that looks sooooooooooooooooooo nice!!

miket · 03-19-2003, 10:51 PM

Dano,

I will let you drive it!!!!!!!

cali_surfer · 03-19-2003, 10:55 PM

I want a 502!!!

UNCLEBOB · 03-19-2003, 11:28 PM

A guy racing a swb pro street truck over here in bremerton was running 12.50s with a 450 hp 502 last year. Your going to have to much fun!

*racedvl* · 03-19-2003, 11:32 PM

Chrome does not dissapate heat very good at all, and leaks, and will rust later down the road. Those covers are sooo much better than chrome, and look wayyy better.

barn9 · 03-19-2003, 11:39 PM

What racedvl said! Those are a LOT better than chrome.

miket · 03-19-2003, 11:44 PM

okay it's done!! My primary colors in the engine compartment will be black, aluminum and red.

crazy longhorn · 03-19-2003, 11:56 PM

That's what I am planning to do too. Not with a 502 though, lol. Looks nice

Longhorn Man · 03-20-2003, 01:02 AM

Keep those covers, chrome is temparary...alluminum fins are for ever.
Details on the off brand hot rod in the back ground?

miket · 03-20-2003, 01:07 AM

Longhornmail:

That there is a GT350...NOT MINE. A friend of mine is doing the engine swap for me (with assistance from Mr Franklin) and he is working on it.....what was really interesting was an older Datsun 280 Z that was on jackstands with no motor and tranny. Though, I was shown around the corner a new ZZ4 crate motor that was being prepped for install into the Z...

I am a Chevy guy as you can tell by my signature.

69 Short Fleet · 03-20-2003, 01:07 AM

BEAUTIFUL MOTOR!!!!!!!! I'd keep the valve covers

72ChevyCheyenne · 03-20-2003, 08:00 AM

Here is a pic of mine in the chassis.

Long Knight · 03-20-2003, 10:46 AM

That looks amazing! Never seen a 502. Sooo, how many pennies would I have to save to get one of those to put in a Vega?

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 03-20-2003, 11:09 AM

I like it AS IS, Looks great , wish it was in my truck

Blue Beard · 03-20-2003, 01:33 PM

Is that a grate motor available from GM.....?

I've been thinking of the Fuel Injection unit............

miket · 03-20-2003, 01:35 PM

Blue Beard:

It is a crate motor from GM. I bought it from Larry at Sallee Chevy in Milton Freewater in OR. They have a fuel injected version of this motor called a 502 RAMJET. It includes everything you need computer and harness....pricey but what the hey.

Blue Beard · 03-20-2003, 01:42 PM

Mike

Thanks, I'' look that up...............I'm just east of Portland on the Washington side..........

Should be able to find one at a local dealer...............

Jason71k10 · 03-20-2003, 02:06 PM
