Nice set-up skinny, and the color of your engine bay is killer.

Veee8 - Don't worry about not seeing the valvecovers, but with that set-up i could careless what they look like.

I agree with Soultkr, that BBK manifold looks sweet in black.

Yes, it's the Weiand/Holley/Lingenfelter or whatever you want to call it. It was orignally a satin finish that I smoothed and polished. Not quite as shiney as the manufacturer's polished version, but I like it that way.

I first went with black covers and orange brackets but decided I wanted more color in the engine since it'd mostly be covered anyways. I should have painted a couple more things orange but I was impatient. Oh well next time I pull the engine. I went with the orange rattle can engine high heat paint though.
