#2 Any suggestions on what color I should get the valve covers powdercoated?

lukecp · 11-04-2003, 10:03 PM

Very nice.....BB's rule....i'm sure you will be doing alot of this

frost89434 · 11-04-2003, 10:04 PM

It's just a freshened up 454.

shuttermutt · 11-04-2003, 10:05 PM

Sweeeeet! Big blocks rule! I used to be a mouse man until I put the port injected 454 (long story, maybe I'll tell it some time) in my 67 Chevelle. There is simply no replacement for displacement!

Frost,

I like chrome against the orange...I would stay with chrome on the valve covers.....

HEY FROST DID YOU USE THE LATE MODEL ENGINE BRACKETS???

LOOKS GREAT.....

junkyardjohn · 11-04-2003, 10:34 PM

COOL!!!! LOOKS GOOD IN THERE....... ALMOST LIKE IT BELONGS THERE.

AS FAR AS POWDERCOATING.... I'D GO EITHER BLACK OR CHEVY ORANGE, & I'D DO THE AIR CLEANER THE SAME COLOR AT THE SAME TIME. LOOKIN GOOD. JOHN

Denny · 11-04-2003, 10:35 PM

I'm a chevy orange and chrome/polished aluminum man, or if its a serious business only look orange and the cast competition style valve covers and intake and then braided stainless hoses.
