Detailed the engine on my 72'

This car has been a rolling restoration, and I have always been ashamed to open the hood at shows. Not any more.

Engine before

Thats awesome! I'm thinking of putting the Ram Air on it for the cool factor.

That looks sweet! I can see you have done a lot of work painting everything.

I used VHT Header paint. I have had good luck with the stuff. It requires some prep work first. I sanded them all with emory cloth and some sanding discs, then just apply as per instructions.

Where did you get the air cleaner assembly. The small block ones seem to have an offset to them and I want to be sure to get the right one.
