Thanks! The coil packs are one of the things I don't like about these motors (that and the stock intake cover )-- I really want to smooth the engine out some. I was looking at the Holley plastic covers, but for the same money, I like the cast aluminum. I don't particularly care for the Edelbrock script, but that's easily remedied...

Um, well, ya see, I, uh... Yeah, I don't really have a good excuse, other than they're just so pretty. I originally wanted to install it 'stock' and upgrade over time, but I figured since I have to rebuild anyway, and I got the heads and cam (oh, did I mention I picked up an XR273HR Comp grind?!), that it could use the headers, too. Look for some other things to change along the way, as well...

I said I was gonna try to keep this one in check, but I just can't help myself sometimes

That being said, I'll have a nice set of TBSS manifolds for sale, if anyone is looking...

Yours look awesome! ...and should last forever...
