Billet Valve covers going on a 457cid ls2 based.

I had called SDPC to get the intake deal they have with injectors and rails and TB and was talking to Brian and told him what wanted to do. He said he had a guy local that does great work at a reasonable price. So I said ok lets have him shoot in SOM over black. Its stunning in person. I polished the rails with some Mothers and a dremel with buffing wheel.

Black engine bay that I'm repainting black with deep orange pearl over it. Hope to paint the car SOM some day.

Beautiful!

Use good quality stainless steel hardware, so rust or corrosion doesn't detract from the good looks.
I found my regular quality ARP bolts corroded and I needed to get stainless fasteners.

I usually go with stainless but this might call for chrome.


Love that Vette!
