Very nice brotha.....very nice.

That stack of parts gave me a bit of an adrenaline pump for a second; made me flashback to an old project of mine.

St. Jude Donor '06-'07

Mike (TNBUSA) keeps telling me (wifey) that this car will outrun me in the z06. What do you guys think? 120 lb fast chick in a Z06 against an out of control speed demon in a 70 souped up coupe.

okay, okay, so he will probably beat me. BUT.....I guarantee I will have less money in the Z06 than he will have in his car! He keeps telling me he is done, but I keep seeing charges on the credit card....

Help!!

You can use the stock chrome BBC valve covers. I trimmed the drippers and doubled up on the gaskets...no problems running roller rockers.

That car is looking good. Love the '70 coupe. Every time I see these kinds of pics, I want to take my car apart. But I know I can't put it back together.

Beautiful job. I would worry about the vacuum for the power brakes, I would really be suprised if it cleared the rocker covers. I couldn't get one to fit because I ran a stud girdle and tall rocker covers.
