Well, I am into it now! - Update- Running!

[CUDA JAS]

I went from this...


to this...in a manner of hours, (in between periods of the hockey game)


All to get to  (or at least a cleaned up version) of this.

Looked pretty clean in the first place.

Are you going to match your valve covers to your intake?

[CUDA JAS]

Thanks,

Actually, I am going to match the intake to the rest of the engine!

Are you  changing from a single plane intake manifold to a dual plane?...if so that is an Excellent swap for street/strip use.

Looks good, but check your hood clearance before you slam your hood down for the first time. The Performer RPM is a pretty tall intake. Other than that, its an excellent street/strip intake.

Well I am finally done.    well almost.

This took alot longer than I thought.

I had a hell of a time buttoning up the fuel system. I could not get two seperate chrome carb feed lines to seal up, so I built my own this weekend. Sealed up great!!! 

Fired it up for the first time tonight, she fired right up. Did not let it run long enough to check for leaks, but, I am hoping for the best.


Tomorrow night I am going to set the timing and tune the carb...with any luck I will get to take it for a spin.

I am really anxious to see how the car works with the dual plane vs. the old single plane.   

Here are some pics of the finished product.
