Default 68 NOM BB appearance



Being new to this forum, I thought I would ask the more senior members if I need more chrome on this engine. NOM 454 cu in 68 convert.

Looks good to be but that 1" filter can't be helping you power.

Photo does not show it well- it's about 2.5 inches tall. There is enough torque already to spin rubber off the rear tires at about 1000 miles per shot.

Stock BB hood and 2.5" Filter. What intake are you running?

I think your engine looks pretty darn nice, not sure where you could put more chrome,

Beautiful engine compartment. I notice no power brakes. The distributor coil is in an unusual position. Does the car have power steering? A BB without power steering is a bear to park.

master cyl cap is about the only thing left to replace with chrome. maybe he could put a mirror on underside of the hood like boat engine hatches...really, nice engine compartment.

That is all nice until you get a coolant leak or get caught in the rain.
