Hoping to fire the motor next weekend but heres a few progress pics basically went to town with the top end have alot of money into her plus all the time in painting, cleaning adn porting so getting the heads on today decided to make sure everything else was gonna fit, ie huge valvecovers lol
For now i'm going to put a sheet over teh a/c stuff till i can track down a delete box, anyone have the pn for the delete pulley through gmpartsdirect?

Headers are now on but heres a mock up pic, of the upper stuff, all the accesories brackets are painted, the bay is still getting cleaned up and painted here and there as i progressl, pulleys are schwing.....i'm happy with hows shes looking...and its gonna be fast

 

lookin good. mine should be running by next weekend as well....i'll keep my fingers crossed, dropped 2 grand in the past 2 weeks, at least my wallet got lighter

 

Looks good. Who makes the valve covers?

 

looking good, like the valve covers.

 

the valve covers are teh jegs brand, polished aluminum, i like em i had to run the talls to clear my valvetrain, i didnt realize they'd be this tall but all together in person it looks awesome

 

Is it still a 305? What heads and stuff did you get for it?

 

Yea i'm keeping the bottom end for now, it was rebuilt shortly after i got it, its supposed to be done out to like a 310 or 315, either way it needed more, i'm running

Looks killer man!

 

Hey man that looks sweet! Can't wait to see it in person again. Your doing a good job and I'm sure you will reap your rewards this summer. We will really need to get together for some shows.

Missed you at the track today, but I'm not mad at cha. The pictures show that you were really busy, and it sounds like you are going to have to go here soon to find out how the new combo works.
Looks great!

it's lookin' good, though i can tell you you didn't need the tall valve covers. i'm running a much bigger cam than you are with .480"/.500" lift and comp pro-magnum roller rockers. with no issues under the short ones. i bought some moroso valve covers. i'm in love!

have fun with the tuning on that tbi stuff!

 

He is probably needing the tall valve covers to clear the magnum rockers.

I am running The Steel roller tip rockers with Kool nuts, and they clear my short valve covers, but the aluminium ones usually do not.

 

i have the same rocker arms though but with more lift on the cam...they are not aluminum they look like this:

 

Hmmm, probably just assumed he needed tall valve covers then,

or maybe he got crazy and put some stud girdles on it, like my race motor has...

 

I love those valve covers. Can you let me know how tall they are?

Thanks.

 

sweet thanks man, unfortunately the smog pump has to stay for now
