Best bank for the buck was a stock base and lid with a good quality filter. Even those K&N breather tops added for additional flow seemed to disturb the air flow to the carb which surprised me. It was interesting to see the results of all their tests.

I did just watch that episode of engine masters. I think I'll upgrade the filter but keep my factory open unit.

Are they cast iron or aluminum? My thoughts if there cast iron paint them if there aluminum leave them natural.

VCs look nice ( I am a bit partial to M/Ts myself ;>)) ). Those t-handles are newer ones. If you go t-handle route, there are lots available on line (ebay) in original packaging quite cheap from Mr. Gasket, M/T, Cal Custom, and other brands of the day. Notice vintage wire looms - they are also available on ebay.

Made a lot of progress to get ready for the Detroit Autorama coming up on March 1st-3rd. Motor and engine bay is done. Keeping the HEI and Plug wires right now due to time and money. I really like the look and have a black and red theme going with everything

Bought a set of 15x6 chrome slot mags. Need to be polished but will set the look off perfectly!

I would not paint them. They look like the old L88 heads. If they were the modern heads with the machined ends then I would probably paint them. I don't like the look of the modern heads, but I do like the old aluminum heads.
