Tall Deck BBC, Valve Covers & Power Booster

Hey Mark! Thanks for the advice. If the shortblock doesn't sell in the next couple of months, I'm pretty sure that's the direction I'll take. You're right on the aluminum heads (here, I think I might try to find a set of the "D" port jobs that replaced the second design L88 heads -- I suspect some of today's head porters might even have a NHRA-SS legal CNC program for them). Also, I see Dynatech makes headers for this combination too. Have you had any experience with the Dynatech headers or the Doug's stuff? What's the quality like (say better or worse than Hooker Super Comp headers as a baseline)? Also, any idea if Edelbrock's vintage valve covers will clear a roller rocker/polylock?

I really dig the semi-sleeper thing. I was just out in the shop and discovered a good old fashioned Delco distributor cap fits a modern MSD Billet distributor...Hmmm. I'd need to hide a buzz box somewhere, but that shouldn't be a big issue. I guess I'm thinking aloud.

Thanks again Mark. Probably a good thing we live a zillion miles apart [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
