You have to knock on wood 24/7 when you own a LT1 Not really, just take care of it and you'll be gravy.

As for those splash guards as 6LE calls em, I'd like to see what they look like on my car but I'm afraid to draw hate On 6LE, I think they look okay...ish. If I get my car running, maybe we can meet up, either at the M&G or something. Lol.. I can feel the hate of fbody owners already.

You're not kidding about that one haha.

As for the splash guards im not too terribly far from Troy so if you ever want to meet up just let me know.

Small update with some pictures!

All the parts are in (excluding pushrods). Lloyd did an excellent job on the porting of the heads and intake. He even stamped my name on the heads which I'm sure is so he can keep track of which parts belong to who but, I think its a nice touch.

Old TB for comparison:



Also went with a metallic pewter-wish color for the intake. Wanted something different I'm digging it.

And for the before porting pictures:





Wish I could find the before porting intake pictures but they seem to be MIA at the moment.

And for the after porting!

Is that paint or powder coating? Are the fins done in that too or where they taped?

[DanDalessandro]

Dang man, looks nice. Get it done and burn the rubber off the wheels!

Its just engine paint, and no the fins were painted as well. Living on a dirt road never allows me to pop my hood anyway so polished fins are a waste for me.

Impatiently waiting for some updates! Or are you still waiting for parts..?

[QuickTop]

Not a whole bunch to update. Ive got everything laid out on a table in front of the engine stand. Should be able to measure the pushrods sometime this week. If they come out to need a custom size ive got a 10-14 day wait on those :/. So fingers crossed They measure out to be stock or atleast a common size!

[DanDalessandro]

Is the car moving yet?

[QuickTop]

The car is certainly moving... up and down the hoist..

I should have warm and welcoming news come the beginning of next week. stay tuned
