67cst · 04-20-2003, 01:31 PM

thats awesome man, i dont think id change it a bit, hey are those heads camel humps? sorta hard to tell....doesnt look like your alt bracket is bolted to that far head in the pic, i have camel humps on my 327 and my alt bracket bolts to the exhaust manifold, it sorta sucks cause i wouldnt mind some headers sometime, how can i get around that problem?

Hmmm yes, I definitely agree...ditch those black valve covers ASAP!

chevykid1969 · 04-20-2003, 01:52 PM

67Cst those are camel humps and my alt bracket is attached with the top bolt that attaches the water pump to the block. that was the only way i could find to put headers on it.

Lookin good!

Class of 69 · 04-20-2003, 02:09 PM

Only thing I would change would also be the black valve covers. Everything else looks very clean and well thought out!!

*Randy70C-10* · 04-20-2003, 03:28 PM

Paint the air cleaner black.

bigjimzlll · 04-20-2003, 04:29 PM

chevykid1969 · 04-20-2003, 04:38 PM

im not sure what type they are . got them out of summit, just some cheap ones. going to chrome soon.

Crank · 04-20-2003, 04:40 PM

Yea. I dont know what you guys are talkin about. I love those valve covers, but needs more black. that's all. Chrome, no. Thumbs down. Too hard to keep clean and too icky.

chevykid1969 · 04-20-2003, 05:42 PM

The headers are the cheapest hooker headers you can buy i think they are called competition

*rage'nrat638* · 04-20-2003, 06:27 PM

LOOKS GOOD DUDE......

be careful with it for awhile...just alittle while......THEN LET IT RIP

Blue Beard · 04-20-2003, 09:03 PM

I run the glass filter, but I made it hard tube up to the ends of the filter inside the hose. No movement, only possible fire hazard there is if a gasket leaks.

Chevy Kid:

What kind of carb do you have that the fuel line goes into the left side?

Haven't seen a water temp line in the right front like that either.

chevykid1969 · 04-21-2003, 02:46 PM

the carb is a holley 600cfm . not sure about water temp line
