The time has come to install the last of the stuff to make my car as the sig implies.... so the post man showed up with some engine "bolt ons"

the heads are stage 2 ported ls6 heads from total engine airflow, they flow the saem as a pait of ported tfs heads right up to .600 lift and still only has 225 runners, they are full cnc, and chamber and exhaust are hand finished, the cam is a custom grind thats 228/[email protected], .604/.609lift and 111LS, with fast ramp lobes.

i also cut the coil stands from the valve covers, welded the holes and sanded and polished the covers... they still need the final buff to get the deep luster... (or i might just give them a brushed finish)

TB is an accufab 4150 4bbl, ordered it in blue when i thought id leave the engine natural... now im thinking ill paint it orange and that TB will stick out like a sore thumb....

and teh valvecovers are so-so.. there are alot of imperfections in that cast GM alloy, so there are some pores in some of the welds, and by the time i have sealed them all the valvecovers will be made up of only alu tig wire, so i called it quits and decided to live with the pores....

might get the GMPP "chevrolet" covers, but then ill have to convert to ls6 PCV... which is supposed to be better 2 btw....

choices choices.. but thank you for the kind words folks
