Way to go, Chris! I'm glad you went with the hillco kit...mine is still sitting here in the box, but it will be going on soon...I also picked up matching chrome bolts and aluminum appearance washers for my chrome billet valve covers...Get us some pics when you get the bling installed...which color washers did you go with?
