Something Came In A Big Box Today!

First change will be some new valve covers.

I'm actually having mixed feelings about this thing. When I started my build, I had decided to stick to around 375 HP. I was tired of the constant battle of finding traction on acceleration, that I had with my 70 Firebird (455 cubic inch, 502 HP, 499 ft/lbs).

So, I'm not sure this is the best way to go. But, I really like the roller valve train for longevity. I wanna pass it on to my oldest son someday.
He's 3 now.
I maybe should have save a few thousand and went with the 375 HP, iron head, flat tappet option.


Much more fun to tweak the traction issue than not have enough horses! Good choice!
