Damn, Brad no wonder it's taking so long to finish.
Looks awesome.
Are you going for the stock look ?
You have a stroker in her right ?

Beware of those mud puddles http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif

Thanks!!! Yea, it's a stoker!!! I was going stock look but some things I had to change....the intake, carb, radiator and exhaust is not original..It's running as it should now and I'm still working on the dash.....


Brad

What kind of radiator did you use ?

did you build your stroker ?

Engine looks great http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_cool.gif, I just have one question. Why do you have two oil fill caps, one on each valve cover? You need to fire that puppy up and burn off some paint,it's too clean http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif

The 2 breathers sort of balanced the engine I thought and it puts out 613hp, so some extra breathing room only helps....I don't like the way the spacers look to much but I had to clear the rollers, still looks more "stock" than the aftermarkets I thought....

Brad

Radiator is a Rodney Red - Highly recommend!! Yes, I built the engine myself but didn't do the heads or balancing and machine work...left that to the guys with the good tools!!

Brad

Hey Bill,

Take the air cleaner off and give us a shot of the carb and from the rear if possible. It looks great!

That's a sweet looking engine! If it was mine, I would look at finding/fabricating a different throttle cable bracket, it was the only thing that stuck out, on an otherwise outstanding job!

Do you have any sound recordings?? Would love to hear it run! http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_cool.gif

If it has ti*s or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

Awsome!!! I'd be proud of That motor. Do those valve cover spacers seal well? It would suck to have oil leaking on that fine lookin engine.

So far the seals work well, no leaks!! The gaskets are Felpro "rubber cork" and they come out too far but I didn't want to cut them, later I might use tube sealant to hide it better....

Thanks for all the input, I'll need to work on the bracket..

Brad

Looks great....Can you paint the spacers so same color as the block to hide em and trim the gasket may make it harder to tell. If your not going for completely stock look how about a one wire alternator so you can get rid of the voltage regualtor and some under hood wireing. Really looks nice wish mine looked that good.

.......awesome...... no criticisms here...!!!
