1967 Barracuda Formula S 383 daily driver build
The motor went back in really easily but it's been in & out a few times now so I have some good practice now.
I couldn't get the Moroso valve covers to seal up, they are just too soft. I had some Direct Connection chrome valve covers but they had issues of thier own, the sealing lip is about 1/2 the width it needs to be.
Took it to town to see if everything is working as it should be. Put around 10 miles on it & it's good.
Got back home, checked my valve lash & adjusted to make sure they are good.
Once I got the hood on it was apparent that the hood was not going to clear the factory air cleaner. I will figure out something to get it working with the hood but for now I have a really low drop base & an edelbrock 14" chrome air cleaner.
