I just finished milling the fins off a buddies HSR a few days ago.
Id deff powdercoat that Lower Intake A mirror Black. Would look great with the way the valve covers are black and polished also.

How much would the powdercoating cost?
Im anxious, I want to dyno it at the Midwest meet in June, assuming that theyre still gonna have it.
The thought of running a carb never even crossed my mind.
I dunno, guess I just dont like em, I like the look of EFI.

looks good , but what made you decide to run fuel injection. Do you daily drive it and worry about economy or what?It looks real good though.

That engine looks MEAN! I would go ahead and polish up the intake manifold while you're at it. It would look completely matched then!

i wouldnt powder coat the intake or touch anything on the motor for that matter. That has to be one of the simplest looking motors ive ever seen and i absolutly love it just the way it is.

In my old 83 S/E I ran into the some problems with installing headers with the 7 quart morosso pan. The driver's side pointed almost directly into the side of the pan. I thought about bending a piece of pipe, but it was so close, it wouldn't work. The only thing I could do was heat each tube until they were red-hot, and then use a looooong prybar to help persuade the pipes to bend to the right angle. It took a long time, and there were quite a few tense moments, but after it was done, it worked fairly well. The Y-pipe was mounted just underneath the convertor. I suppose I could have ran the pipe all the way to the rear of the pan, but by that time I just wanted the thing done so I could drive it!

Looks killer. Nice job on the polishing.
