Re: Owen's C10
Just looking at your pictures it looks like you will have room for the coil brackets if you chose to keep them on the valve covers. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part because you and I are running the same mounts and I hope to keep my coils on the valve covers
 Either way, all that orange looks awesome in there!

Re: Owen's C10
new valve covers...only one problem. they don't fit! the motor is too close to the firewall..

Re: Owen's C10
So I had to find some room somewhere...and I found it by drilling new holes in the PB motor mounts 3/4" ahead of the previous ones. that gave me just enough room, cause the oil pan would be into the rack and pinion...

Re: Owen's C10
I wasn't happy with the colour the v/c came in, it was close but not close enough, so I gave them a respray with chevy orange and a couple coats of clear. I liked the look of the script orange too so I left it..and it saved some time too.

Re: Owen's C10
Like the valve covers- good choice! If you could do it over, would you have modified the firewall?
