Beautiful work!

Cant wait to see the dyno results. Post a video if you can.

(BTW, Isn't the upper dipstick tube supposed to be natural? - can anyone else confirm this?)

Also, you may find that the unique 455HO AC bracket scratches the paint on the valve cover in the factory installed position. You can cheat a little bit by placing a flat washer under the bracket mount on the intake at the front and rear mounting points. It will raise the bracket just enough to clear the valve cover surface and avoid marring that perfect paint job.

Good tip on the AC bracket. Thanks! And you may be right about the upper tube. I imagine if it wasn't on the engine by the time this picture was taken, it wasn't going to be blue!
