Here's TIP's Billet-TEK custom built Pontiac valve covers for the 440!

CNC machined, thick CNC machined rails for perfect flatness and superior sealing, will clear high port intake and supercharger manifolds without any modifications...

Available with stainless steel socket head cap screws or black oxide socket head cap screws and optional breather grommets, grommet holes can be placed anywhere you want, designed to clear ALL valve train components - poly locks and stud girdles!

Covers feature recessed bolt hole for a clean finished look!

WOW!!
Looks very nice.:thumbsup:

OLDFLM 09-05-2009 04:02 PM

Thanks!
 
A cool thing about the engine is that only the stock iron block is original! EVERYTHING else on it or in it is from the aftermarket!

TIN INDIAN Performance and Kauffman Racing Equipment have collaborated on the build and used their parts to replace everything but the block!

Even the timing cover is made by Kauffman Racing as are the heads and other parts like the oil filter adapter!! And some new stuff to be revealed here shortly!! :question: :unibrow:

OLDFLM 09-05-2009 05:36 PM

I can't wait my friend!! We're getting closer everyday!! :lateral:

I know I've had the car for over 25 years but I'm only 42 man! LOL :rofl:
