One more up and running. 71 Corvette 6.0 L92 with sheet metal intake. Pics I got mine fired up on Saturday. I had one ecu ground issue to fix and a slight acessory drive problem, but everything else went great. I had wait4me do a mail order tune and it seems to work perfectly. Quite responsive for such huge ports on the heads. It's still on the stands though. Here are a couple pics.
The color on the valve covers, timing cover and valley cover is the color the rest of the car is going to be. It's a candy pearl. It will be painted later this month. I made the mount plates.
The coil covers will be painted that orange too. I'll be making end plates for them probably tomorrow.
Stainless 1 3/4" headers built by myself.

It's mine, hehe. I built the intake, headers, accessory brackets, coil covers, and motor mount plates.
The power steering pump is a KRC cast iron unit. KRCpower.com It uses -10 inlet and -06 outlet. The outlet fitting is also the flow control and is replaceable. There are 14 different GPMs available. I went with one 2 steps less flow than the one it came with because the pump is going to be spinning faster than with my other motor and it there was too much assistance before.
I should be able to post a little video in a couple days.

VERY nice - and I'm going to freely admit that I'm pirating the idea of the painted coil covers for my own conversion (since I should be able to bust 'em out pretty quickly on my sheetmetal brake)...

Any one that uses my coil covers for inspiration should post their finished product in this thread. That's my "license fee."
I just welded the end plates on. I'll get a pic posted tomorrow. Welding that thin **** is a major pita.
