I made the mistake of not replacing my sensors when the engine was out. Lot less fun to do once everything is connected and in the truck. Did you get the crank sensor while you where there?

Shoot, I did not. It looks to be in good condition, but probably a good idea to change anyway. Thanks

More plenum work. Pulled out the Dremel and did some more carving. Plan is to paint the same battleship gray at the block with black stars and stripes. Maybe center stripe red?

Thanks guys, here is the finished product. Overall happy with how it turned out. Went with a distressed look and now has an X Wing fighter from Star Wars vibe.

Happy NEW Year! Started my new year off by re-engineering Edelbrock's SBC valve cover adaptor. With their set up, the coils are bunched together and the plug wires are bent really tight. Also there is nowhere for an oil fill. Started by cutting off the OEM fill and laying out how I wanted everything positioned. I originally tried to weld the ring on, but I ended up warping it with the heat ( Still learning TIG! ). Ended up using a high heat style of JB weld. Made a plate to mount the coils, which will allow me to use Edelbrock's mounting positions and add space to tuck the wiring harness in. Aluminum was from an old sign, so it looked like "Forged in Fire" when I melted the reflective coating off. With everything mocked up, the valve covers still fit!

Some more pics...... Drilled/ Tapped both covers to allow 10an to 3/8 NPT fittings, to eventually run to a catch can. Also made up some baffles and opened up the wire ports. Found these were also very tight during mockup.
