Nothing like raw gm performance. Looks good,did you modify the rocker lock nuts,set screws and studs to clear valve covers.

Ya Al, me too! I know it's more $$$, but the cost of doing these &quot;special motors, it's well worth it. I would recommend using Evan Coolants.

http://www.evanscoolant.com/

Now I'm not sure about leaking into cylinder or bearing area off the op of my head, but it is allowed at the track where propylene glycol-based coolants are allowed but there is a “No Ethylene Glycol&quot; is the rule. So you can have full advantage of coolant over just water, yet still be within the rules in case of a spill/leak.

Coming together nicely. You did a lot nicer job then I'm going to do with my '69 Nova ZL-1 build I'm finally getting to.
