Default ZZ4 engine build update [pics]

She's almost ready to be dropped in with a few things here and there that still have to be done. I almost hate thinking that it will have to hide in the engine compartment for the fact that it's a friggin work of art and it should be on perminent display in my garage but then again that won't do me much good either. Well, here she is in all here glory. Enjoy!

Appreciate all the compliments!

I snagged the valve covers off eBay new for $150. IIRC, LPE sells them for $325. They are by far the best quality valve covers I've come across thus far and not to mention some of the best looking as well

Nice pics

Just like most other 1 piece rear main 350's this one requires a weighted flexplate but the damper is neutral balanced
