Are you going to weld the spacers to the valve covers or no?

Probably not, we're going to get some custom valve covers made and probably sell the spacers and valve covers.

Don't take this the wrong way Phil, but you spend all that money on a solid roller motor, and you put a FRAM filter on it?

I'm just giving you ****, looks good man.

Considering the filter is only going to be on the car for less than 5 minutes why spend the money? Once the car has gone through the first heat cycle we're going to drop the fluids and switch to a better filter.

The .500 spacers were not tall enough, well they would have been if I gutted the valve covers. Didnt want to do that so just got 1" and gave the .500 to my buddy.

I got dibs on the valve covers if the price is right Well that is, if you are going to sell them. I know you would like to hook a moderator up...Like free + shipping.
