Default Not too sure this is going to clear my stock hood...

thought I'd share a few more pics of the intake setup I am switching to.. I also marked on both the intake opening on the Super Vic and Vic JR that I have with the Felpro gasket to give you a better understanding of the port differences. Hopefully I don't loose too much bottom end. But then again, the 4,900 verter probably won't care..


What fuel rail looks better? The black one ot the Edelbrock one?

I know I need to do something about the valve covers..




















Here is what the gasket looks like against my heads.. Also looking down the intake port while sitting on the motor:























Here is the height of this set up:







Finally the Vic JR vs Super Vic gasket..

In regards to the valve covers.... I went the elbow grease budget friendly route.
I cut the coil mount bosses off, welded the grooves and holes. Ground the welds...Bondo filled the low spots.... sanded....ground....primed....sanded.....few coats of paint and clear.... and they turned out pretty decent for some labor and low cash. The smooth look is a lot nicer IMO.
Here is a pic, the glare does not do it justice.
