Looking real good! 
Are you leaving the alternator brace off?? I did when I installed my hookers because of the obvious angle of the tube there at second bolt. I havent had any problems and have made alot of runs at the track.
I've heard a few in here speak of cracked alt. caseings but mine seems to be holding well.
I guess I really do need to get off my butt and fabricate something to go to the third bolt.

Thanks Dave, 86!
Yes, I puzzled over that brace for only a minute or two. Sort of fabbing something, it looks impossible to get that brace on.

Not sure what the folks at hooker were smoking on that one.

Elka, I'm in Surprise.
The body shop I'm planning on using is in your area. Have any experience w/ Autobody Innovations?
Ya, Dave I was very impressed w/ sparkplug room, clearance and forethought on the behalf of hooker until i got to that brace, lol. It's like they figured they'd done enough.

Great looking set-up. I built a 383 with dart pro 1's with 200 cc runners. I used a Holley dual plane intake with a Edelbrock performer 750 carb. I wanted to go with an air gap but it will not clear the stock hood. I am not happy with the Holley Dual Planr so I am going to upgrade to an Edelbrock Torker 2. It will fit under the stock hood as well. What distributor and ignition system are you using?

Thanks Cal. You're right about things not fitting under the hood. The distributor(a shorty even) doesn't even really fit so I'm adding a scoop.
The ignition is all MSD. Coil, rev limiter, 6AL, Pro-billet distributor, cap, etc. Well the wires are Moroso.. so not *all* MSD.
I think we have the same heads. Are you happy with them? I really haven't put a load on the motor yet... still breaking in/finishing up.
