The valve covers are the fabricated units from Summit, and the fuel rails are the Edelbrock ones that came with the intake.

The intake is a standard Edelbrock Vic-E....other than porting it is as cast. The heads have been drilled for the SBC bolt pattern. I can now use any SBC or LTx intake manifold.

Are you stepping up the hit on this or are you still using the MAF kit?

I am selling the MAF kit and my new intake has an internal spray bar. Similar to a carb style plate system.

That is what I thought you would have done, or at least how I would try and do it, but looking through your pics I saw this and wasn't sure...

This weekends progress

mocked up the Madman alternator relocation. Painted the waterpump and thermostat housings. Also painted the balancer.

Mounted the MSD coil on a custom bracket casper383 built for me.
