Seem likely that the funny looking valve covers are for the direct injection.

Thumbs up

I guess the Canadians have been pricing themselves out of manufacturing. There used to be a sticker on 1st generation big block Camaros "Towanada the #1 Team" as they were #1 in GM quality control for powertrain in the late 60's. Must have had something to do with all the fast and high powered supermodified racers running around upstate New York, many were wrenched on by people in the know at that plant. Glad to see the business return home where it belongs

That was my first thought, intake doesn't seem tall enough.

It's weird though... Almost looks like a 2 piece. Maybe someone's been paying attention to FAST

Any idea what the piece just forward and under the exhaust manifold is? With the pulley on it.

It does look two piece given that its two colors, looks like it would bolt together.

Actually that intake looks about the same height, it just looks that way from that engine cover.
That's an awesome pic though, very exciting. Looks like they moved the water pump over a bit, relocated the tstat. I wonder what that thing at the bottom is.
