1 question does the 300hp badge still apply or do you need to upgrade that baby?

It's almost too pretty to put back in the car. I'm sure you never take it to a quick oil change place, but if you did the crew there would cream their jeans! :rofl:

Awesome! Where did you get the valve covers? :cool:
Got the covers from Jeff... along with a ton of other smaller parts.

Naw Ed, a local guy here in Memphis who's spent most of his life building big blocks did the assembly, I just rounded up parts (Thanks a whole bunch to Jeff Kopp for all of his help with the GM parts), and made the credit card company happy. Here's his engine from his 55 chevy

Re: How does this look? (Ramrod92)
I love it :yesnod: And the valve covers are purdy. I wish they made those with perimeter bolt. Don't get it dirty now! maybe get a lexan hood so you can stare at it all the time. :lol:
That BB is scary! :eek: Just the sight of it would have most scurrying away with their tail between their legs!
