Amazing what a difference a few $$ and a bunch of work makes.
Not done yet, but getting closer. A before and after pic.

They wouldn't be original on my 76 sb but I really like the valve covers...during my vintage they would have been one signal that it was an L82 small block with about 20 or 30 more horsepower and several other internal parts that would make it a bit more robust to jack the horsepower up on with cam, etc. changes.
Nice engine....what's next for you on it?

The next thing is getting teh A/C working and the compressor all prettied up.
The brake MC and power booster will have to wait until they need work before those get made correct.
And the PS pump, it has the wrong pump/tank, I need to get pump with the correct tank so i can get to the filler inlet more easily.
Oh, yeah, powder coat and reline the rear spring, that is about all that is left
