I need schooling - old vs. new engines

Like this....lol. "stock appearing" is what I was going for. That's why the coils aren't on the valve covers. I wasn't happy about switching to the fabricated aluminum covers since it takes away some of the stock look, but I was at my wits end with the damn oil leaks from the stamped steel factory valve covers. I bet a G3 doesn't have oil leak problems....
No need to convince me about the G3 benefits. Just as I stated in a previous post that I'll never buy another carb, I'll also never build another LA engine.

Absolutely wicked motor. One of my favorite builds on this site.
