Re: Big block engine bay pics!!
[QUOTE=DirtyLarry;6517299]Any sources of factory accessory brackets for a BB that anybody knows of? My factory brackets got lost many years ago. I would love to return the brackets back to original so I can go back with a period correct A6 A/C compressor.

Re: Big block engine bay pics!!
There are some real beauties here. But this is what I'm striving for. It's close. Just need to slap the A/C back on, new shroud, wash bottle and polishing.

Re: Big block engine bay pics!!
To say that's striking dads71bigblock is an understatement. Well done.
