Does the hood already have a hole or will you be doing that next? Looks great.

Why did you change the blower setup and motor?

I think it looks very nice and with a neat wire install with some of those alongside the valve cover looms would IMO add a nice final touch.

I was surprised to see you using a mechanical fuel pump but being as you have already been running a blower your experience with one must have been good

Looking forward to hearing how she runs

Great looking setup, should be a lot of fun.
That being said, why not go with a 6-71? I understand guys running mini blowers to keep things covered up, but since you're already out of the hood....

You can spin a big blower a lot slower making less heat making way more power. And the cost is not all that much more....just curious

The engine in it was tired and i wanted a little more hp ,and i wanted to do it right this time and make it really look good,all polished.after all mechanical stuff is done i will start on interior and body.After me and the wife watch Barret Jackson on tv,she said i could fix the car up the way i wanted I LOVE MY WIFE.She sees the car as and investment now,not just blowing money on it.

I was thinking bigger but i wanted everthing to stay as much as possible under the hood,If the engine stuck out further it would really bother me driving the car,it cuts down on your view.I was thinking about a centrifical blower also,but i do no like all the piping in the engine compartment.Nothing looks better then a old school blower on top an engine,in my opinion I really like my other setup ,but didnot really like the look of it,it should be polished,Like what you have

I'll have to bring up the investment scheme if I ever get into the waste of money Corvette discussion again.

Aluminum heads need exhaust studs
