69 Dart 5.7 "Butters" Build
Had some parts show up today.. Holley is, gaskets, head bolts, timing chain, hellcat pump, right side exhaust manifold. Also grabbed a 6.1 intake.
Got the engine degrease and stripped down to a shortblock. Before tearing down, I experimented with 6.1 intake using the truck cover... Even tho my original plan was to switch to a car cover.
Rotated the TB 90° and clearanced the housing. It'll work no problem. Once I had the housing off, I found it was plenty thick enough in that area to root out a little more. Just not sure I care for the truck housing look. I kinda do but I kinda don't. It would certainly save me some $$ tho
