Oh man that is going to be SWEET! Looks big enough to do rad supports and maybe even bumpers.

ChevyDude · 01-06-2008, 06:56 AM

Yep...big enough for radiator supports and with my special built Diagonal rack will do bumpers up to 80" long.

ChevyDude · 02-10-2008, 05:26 AM

Been feeding the Smith Racing engine builder mucho dinero and buying the rest of the engine parts...Holly 1050cfm 4500 dominator carb by Chuck Nuytten, intake edelbrock #2927, oil pan, pully's, valve covers. Cam is solid roller Comp Cam's - .652 Lift and .308 duration, Heads Edelbrock aluminum part #60559.... and have been powder coating as many parts as possible in Gloss Mirror Black. I will shoot a pic tomorrow. Here is the valve covers I chose.

Stoney · 03-08-2008, 06:12 AM

You have been busy.

Frizzle Fry · 03-08-2008, 08:00 AM

I love those valve covers. I'm debating between those and these.

ChevyDude · 03-08-2008, 06:20 PM

ChevyDude · 03-09-2008, 01:00 AM

ColoradoK5 · 03-09-2008, 02:44 AM

corn · 03-10-2008, 11:03 PM

Ouch, those are just a little out of my price range. It seems like all the nice things usually are though. Thanks for the link Alex...

Sounds like you're building some serious motivation for Overkill.......hence the name "Overkill"

Looking good!

Thanks Jim! OverKill's powerplant should have plenty of motivation! I am told it should be above 650hp.

ChevyDude · 03-15-2008, 03:49 AM

Progress: 3-13-08 OverKill's complete shortblock comes home!!! The heartbeat of a 496 BBC! Very Excited!!!

**Palf70Step** · 03-15-2008, 04:06 AM

Shiney!!!

ChevyDude · 03-15-2008, 09:14 PM

Played hookie from working for a few hours, masked the 496 off and shot a couple coats of CHEVY ORANGE And of course..... turned it back, upright !

Frizzle Fry · 03-15-2008, 09:41 PM

Looks strangely familiar... That one has 20 more cubes though. Guess I'll have to stroke mine now...
