Steel Blue, I don't have a camera now but am planning on it before heads etc. go on. I do want pics,. also intake is a MR powder coated (and fuel rails) port match to the heads which are cnc ported 190 AFR's, cam is a zz9, new GMPP valve covers blk. powder coat, so the parts look all pretty now!


65Z01, Yeah, Right on, that wouldn't be good, but since intake is coming off it will be out and marked before timing cover comes off.....Which then begs the question, it looks like enough room to the front, but I will have to get the jack under the pan, break mtr. mts. to insatall cam??
