Nice looking car/engine bay. Any more pics on another thread?

I just can't see a Chevy with the distributor in the front. That ruins it for me.

I have that engine, but it is yet to be intalled. You don't have to run a distributor to have a carb on an LS

I have no problem with a carb intake setup and the front mounted distributor in the original link that I don't like. Might as well run a SBF.
