Hows your V8 dressed pics please

Rouding up the Stuff to swap the 350 in my 83 its not much to look at but getting a fresh built 350. Thought might dress it up a bit. I am trying to think the last time i looked at SBC valve covers there must be hundreds to choose from today. I seen some one posted the tall ones would not fit hit the diaphram power brakes? Pretty set on Orange for color no A/c just p/s alt got a new allumunum Rad.

Re: Hows your V8 dressed pics please

Not sure what these are as I never asked haha. I seen them and knew they were the ones I wanted. Had to shave 1/4" to 3/8" in spots on the frame to fit them but I love the way they are plenty out of the way and sit farther out from the motor for better plug access. I live in Vancouver Washington but here is a link to where I bought them. You could call and ask if need be. http://lineupandsoundoff.com/
He has a C10 also so he will know what your talking about.

I love it!! Wish mine looked like yours JWall, I can only dream. Maybe someday. It would help if I knew how to do this stuff myself, but I'm not much of an engine person.
