Cool engine man. If I ever get aftermarket valve covers I want some tig welded aluminum like yours, they look sweet.

Yeah, that looks real good.

Those valve covers sure help!!  Cool set up.

cheers!
it looks amazing sitting next to my desk at work!
think i'll paint the intake black too, it needs to be painted anyway.
i sandblasted it clean and it's too 'white', plus it marks real easy.
will suit the black ceramic TTI headers i got too!

so it'll look like this soon:

It looks like a pic for a magazine.  Any pics of those TTI's?

here's a concept image of what i plan for the engine bay:



the headers are awaiting shipping from LA, got a few more parts i'm having collated there.

when i get them and get the motor finished, i plan on a proper photo shoot.
the photo studio at work is just around the corner from my desk.  pretty handy!

i'll hopefully have the whole engine/k frame/gearbox etc together on a custom trolley.
should look cool!

cheers,
aaron

sweet!
That is classy, with just the air cleaner orange.
I agree at least some orange needs to show under a big block mopar hood

The REAL challenge will be all the wires and hoses. Handling those nicely takes some serious consideration.
