Not enough BLING !!

Posted pics a few weeks ago of my ZZ4 project and decided (along with comment by firstgear (Herb)) that the dull aluminum manifold wasn't exactly the look I was looking for so I got another maifold but this time is was POLISHED

Original Manifold

New Polished Mainfold

Still cleaning engine bay and underneath plus Holidays and weather BUT I still got a few months to get job done.....

Bling is good.

Makes it easier to keep clean, also.

Looks Absolutely Great!

I just got an Edelbrock Endurashine Intake Manifold to replace the stock unit in our 1966 Convertible. The old unit was starting to show it's age and was also developing a couple small oil leaks around the bolt
holes.
Will likely add a chrome Powermaster alternator and chromed
support later this spring as well.

If you don't use thread sealer on the intake bolts, hot oil from the lifter valley will wick up through the bolt threads and seep out under the bolt heads.
