Default It's been awhile

It's been a long time since I've been active on here. Just posting a few pictures. New look to engine compartment. Had Eaton 112 supercharger on before from ford lightning. Great fun but got a head gasket leak and I decided to tone it down. New engine and car. Went from full lenght headers to these summit rams horns. What a pain in the ***. My Alan grove accesory brackets would not work with these manifolds, just a warning. Just cut and chopped them until they did work. Had to add a heli-coil in the AC compressor ear because no room for a nut. The manifold is in the way. Used Vortec heads, Wieand manifold. Should have tapped out manifold for temp sender. The sender I have does not read correct.

The '58 is looking good. Engine updates look great.

Thanks for sharing.
