Check out this thread for some pics. He swapped to solid motor mounts but you can't see them in the pics.

Perfect, those are the ones I was looking at. Thanks again for your help!

Newtz67 · 04-24-2010, 02:47 PM

I have another question, I'm having a hell of a time finding headers for the 454. I want 1 7/8" primary tubes minimum. I would prefer 2 1/8" primary tubes with 3" to 3 !/2" collectors. I'm just not sure what will fit in the '67. Thanks again for any help!

**seafoam68** · 04-24-2010, 10:09 PM

I also have the same burning question about headers. I need a set that won't hang below the frame rails. Anybody with ideas?

I'll try to post some pics of the the ones in the link. Here is one from the top but they don't hang down much I'll try to get a pic tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you! Those are very nice but not sure I want to spend that much.

Newtz67 · 04-25-2010, 05:20 PM

Did a little detail work.

They make them uncoated also. I helped him crank his motor for the first time today and we had to pull the spark plugs. I am in love with these hedders. I will probably buy a set for my son's truck. I'll post a pic of how far they hang down in a little bit.

Sorry, I missed your post earlier. I'm using duplicolor red. I actually painted the intake too, with duplicolor aluminum. An old timer I know told me an aluminum intake is much easier to keep clean if it's painted. Made sense to me so I'm trying it out this time. Even if you look close you won't even be able to tell it's painted when I'm done, The color is very close to the same.

Pilot-209 · 04-26-2010, 08:41 PM

I like your red highlights! I have valve covers almost identical to yours so I'm think I might do that too. Did you just do it with a small brush?

No, actually we took the time to tape everything off in between and sprayed them, but it would probably be just as easy to use a brush. On the intake letters I sprayed some paint into a freeze plug and used a tooth pick snapped in half haha. Worked pretty well!

**seafoam68** · 04-26-2010, 10:12 PM

Hello again, Newtz. It looks like we are building pretty much the same motor, except you are way ahead of me! Just wandering if you will have access to a dyno when you're done? I like what you have done so far, looking good!

djracer · 04-25-2010, 10:40 PM

Here the pic I promised.

Newtz67 · 04-25-2010, 10:51 PM
