Looking any better? I did wrinkle paint and stainless hardware on the valve covers and alternator bracket. You can also see the holley Very Happy

I'm going with a black and stainless look.

Holy shoehorned engine, Batman!

I like the black paint on the valve covers, but I would take a look at that rubber fuel line. It looks like it's resting right on the head. Shocked

It's definetly a little snug. I did a wire tuck to get all the wires off the frame rails and up on top of the fender. Looks sweet. And I just put a V8 tach in the cluster today and took out my white faced gauge set. I also pulled all the stuff off my other axle today so it's ready to take the axles out and modify the brake flanges for disk rear, weld the tubes to the center, relocator brackets, and put in!

you know the tach's are the same with the V8's, it is only the driver board that changed. YOu should be able to just swap over the V8 tach board, if you wanted to keep your whiteface gauges.

(at least that is how the 90-92 cluster is)

The next thing I'll do is the intake. It's leaking a little oil on the timing chain cover. Is there anything you can do to clean up the carb??? Wasn't sure I could just paint it. It is old and stained.

The V8 tach is in. Seems to be more accurate! Says idle is around 600 instead of 800-1000.
