Very nice and good choice of colors as sonic blue is the faster of all the colors even in the engine bay :) !

What did you use to paint the valve covers? Is it paint or anodized? I want to do mine exactly like that, except in Redfire to match my car.

here is a quick rundown of my simplistic setup...

ShelbyGuy said:
but they all have those parts on the outside! show us pics of the inside!

and where are the specs for us to drool over?
Replaced the iron block with a teksid 96 cobra block i had laying around, used the stock crank, with a custom C-P piston that is .020 over and a good set of replacement H beam rods. I bowl ported the heads myself, replaced the valves with stainless and used crower brand springs, keepers and retainers. Topped the valvetrain off with a set of custom cams we had ground to our specs. Canton pan was added for extra oiling and oil control. Using a metco x-10 drive system with the huge 10" lower you see in the pics...that's all i have in this simple engine...no stroker needed here... :thumbsup: Going to post pics up maybe tonight with the blower stuff on....hermann :beer:
