Probably not the idea you're looking for, but it's a big block.

They say they do but we scuffed and painted mine and it sure scuffed REAL easy with a scotchbrite pad. I can't imagine it would hold up to much.

Was gonna buy the plain one to start with but got such a good deal on this one and it didn't take as much prep work to paint it so it worked out pretty good.

Very nice eightbanger....are you not running an ac comp or is it down low??

eightbanger 01-26-2011 07:01 AM

Re: Big block engine bay pics!!
 
Thanks Carlos, the AC was already disconnected by the PO, I decided recently to remove the compressor and other stuff as it was just extra weight and clutter not being used, I do like the idea of it being an AC Truck though...you never know we might get hot weather in the U.K one day:lol:

Check out my thread. I did have some minor clearance issues with my tall valve covers. Only because I had clearance issues with my headers though. If you mount in the front holes there should be no problem.
