had the same thing with the breathers , but havent seen them on the engine yet
i do wonder if theres nothing in the way of the opening when there mounted , i can immagine the first rocker and springs sitting in front of it

**67cheby** · 01-10-2012, 02:23 PM

yes they do clear the rockers

raull · 01-10-2012, 03:04 PM

i agree with shortening breathers !!!!!

**67cheby** · 01-10-2012, 03:12 PM

i think i can take about 1 inch out of them, i will probably smooth off the tops where they wont be scripted with eldelbrock also

Get your dremel out and etch "C-10" in them

Paint them to match the valve covers and they will blend in better, especially since they will be at the back of the engine.

I ran the same ones and belt sanded the logo off and just left it the brushed finish. It looked pretty good.

raull · 01-10-2012, 03:14 PM

yes i like that smooth off the tops idea also !!!

Or you can do the chevrolet script...that'd be fun to do free-hand with a dremel

**67cheby** · 01-10-2012, 05:17 PM

that would look cool !

watahyahknow · 01-10-2012, 06:48 PM

i think you could just flatten the tops on a beltsander to get the edelbrock logo off and then do a chemical eching same way they do to the copper electric circuitboards , maybe you could put "hartbeat of america" on them in small fond , it would be waaaaay simpler than trying to carve it out with a dremel

come to think of it you could use a red copper coverplate over the logo and use the same bolds to hold it on top , age it intoo black reworka little with steelwhool so it looks like a jeansbutton and then just keep it that way

**67cheby** · 01-10-2012, 07:44 PM

yes they will be painted to match, that is a great idea on the belt sander i will do , do you have any pics of yours ?

If it's to make progress on the truck, it counts.

**67cheby** · 01-19-2012, 11:11 AM

and one more

tubbedII · 01-19-2012, 11:42 AM

Looks great! That's a great garage addition right there! What's the little box with the 4 holes?

nibs · 01-19-2012, 12:05 PM

Very nice, Mike! I might have to build something similar when I get my TIG home.

**67cheby** · 01-19-2012, 12:14 PM

the box in the corner is an electrical outlet, 4 plugs to plug in grinders ! and thanks everyone for the compliments ! it has been fun, now i need to break it back down finish all the welds and put a coat of paint on it.....then back to truck progress !
