Well, after painting my cam/valve covers, I finally got around to get a nicer CAI and ditching the "ebay" special. Its a slightly used K&N kit that I bought from a friend for $50! I know it is doesn't produce quite as much max horsepower as a JLT or C&L, but I couldn't pass up the deal and IMO, it looks 100% better than my old one.(I couldn't stand the Ford Blue against the Torch Red) Also, got rid of the oil filler neck and cap and replaced it with a chrome one. Much cleaner now...

Looks great! I think the 3V motor is ugly stock. What kind of paint did you use on the cam covers?

Thanks! It is made by VHT and it is called "Wrinkle Black Finish". It gives them that rough, textured look...looks almost identical to the FRPP black cam covers, but I saved aboust $200 by doing them myself! I made a post about it a few weeks ago.
