Looks great. Take the oil filler neck off. The stock oil cap fits right on the valve cover, but I'd purchase another one to dress it up a bit more. The oil filler neck looks totally out of place on such a beautiful setup.

Letting Wes tune that thing?

I talked to him the other day and he mentioned something about doing a 3V cam install. Yours, maybe?

Know him real well. Real nice fella. He does like to break stuff though...lol...gets to use my car trailer as needed.

+1. Car lives at TPS in Prairieville. Whole car is being gutted and rebuilt by them. Weight loss is a major focus. Think car has lost about 300 lbs already. There's a bunch of us (all have forced induction) that get tuned by Wes.

Can give you only rough estimate from memory...302 stroker short block $4000, stage 3 heads/3spr cams $4000, JPC intake manifold $1800. Must be a bunch of other stuff but cannot remember???

This.

Chrome caps for all of your stuff would just pop against that paint job. Really nice man.

Used powdercoating, not paint. Think pc is more heat-resistant?

Once motor goes back into engine bay...most of what you see will be hidden.
