Re: Tall Deck BBC, Valve Covers & Power Booster
I did a 540 in a 69 Camaro years ago but it had the shorter deck than the 572. I always recomend Doug's headers because of the quality of the welds and the thick flanges but the fit was not as good as the Hooker super comps I ended up putting on the car. I used the stock looking valve covers from Nohah performance that I found on E-bay, that worked great. I had roller rockers and the factory brake booster and everything fit with room to spare. I read an article about somebody that put together a crossram 302 and they used aftermarket heads but machined the fronts to look like original heads and painted them orange. If you run the 163 intake the spacers will be giving it away on what you have. It would be better with a dedicated intake for a tall block but use a a 4150 based carb to hide everything under the air cleaner. Wayne does this mean the buick is gone?
