any sugestions on what to do with the tunnelram to keep it good looking?
just mediablasted it since its made up of two diferent tunnelrams...
will it look any good painted or should i keep it rough as it is?
and any sugestions on what to do for aircleaner(s) since the carbs are not mounted flat? thinking of doing a lexan airbox and putting filters in it but nothing set in stone yet

pics is before mediablasting

Yep, powdercoat would be the way to go.

I have the same Edelbrock on my Valiant.

What color is your motor?

It would look good the color of your motor,which you can spray paint.
Or get it back to the natural alum color.
 
I say powdercoat it Silver/Aluminum Color.

I was jokingly referring to the cost of Premium Unleaded and the Economy....no offense intended.
 
motorcolor is red block and bare aluminum eddy heads

Prine: understood that i was thinking my reply jokingly,but it dont seem like it came thru that way,hard to get a laugh to translate thru the keyboard:(

360scamp looking nice, can that kind of aircleanerhousing work with the carbs siting alitle tilted like mine will?

afraid it will need some paint, its kind of rough looking after blasting and it wasnt perfect in the firstplace
 
Mine has the same carb arrangement. I just put a spacer on the rear carb airhorn to make the aircleaner base level.

Like Chuck said, you can just add a spacer (what I'm ganna do) or I guess you could mill one of the mounting plates down a little bit. Here are some more pics of it. Frankenmutt helped take the pics.

He's probably looking at the two filters thinking, "Ya, I had two once." ;-)

Yeah they will.

I can remember the look on Frankenmutt's face.
 
Hmmmmmmmmm .... maybe I can help swing the decision to powder coat it??? 6,500 colors and textures are available you know.

Tunnel ram in "Super Chrome," Edelbrock 318/360 in "Blasted Aluminum," and the Mr. Roadster scoop was done in "Wilder Red" metallic over "Super Chrome."
 
this gives me alot to think about! there are some real nice powder coats!

any sugestions onthe best airbox or filtering? i like those hillbornboxes but i get a feeling that they are somewhat restrictive?

some newer pics after blasting looks alitle better
