It's a trickflow aluminum elbow I believe that I stripped, sanded and powdercoated. All the parts where smoothed or polished before i powdercoated them.

Car has been in the garage for a few months and is pretty dirty, as soon as I can buff the paint and wax the car, polish the wheels, I'll take pics.

Looks like it has a relocation kit on it that puts the alternator where the a/c comp was.

I still have an AC compressor, power steering, alternator. The alternator is at the bottom right of the motor.



I'm using this kit that they no longer sell...

Yeah, the 58 is working great. I've heard lots of problems about Holleys, but the 52 and 58 both worked flawlessly for me.
