You should do up those valve covers in gold now as well.  It would look nice in that engine bay.

Thanks, if all goes well she'll be running soon.  Down to a few little things but all the big stuff is figured out.  Plus the motors in the car so that's alot closer then I was a month ago.

We f*cked with those heades for hours.  The driver side just wouldn't fit at all. 

I'm just as excited as John is to get it running.  Its so close to running.  bunch of little things need to be hooked up.  The wiring harness needs to be modified for duraspark, 3G, and an electric choke.  won't be hard.

My thoughts exactly!

Those louvers will look badass on there! Which wheels are you sticking with, the 8 holes or Snowflakes? I know where an 84 Cougar is that same color, I like it.

Louvers don't fit, they are not for a tbird.  I spent a little time this afternoon cleaning up a few engine bay parts and bolting them back in.  Wiring the 3G is next then tearing apart the stock 5.0 harness after that.

Alright, if you read the ProForm thread then you'll understand that I had problems with my roller rockers.  Got that taken care of with a trip to jegs.

I swapped out the ProForm for Crane Cams Blue Racer 1.6 Ped. mount rockers.

Overall quality is excellent and I will recommend them.

Here's some pics for you to enjoy!

Also:  Arn't you glad I got rid of those py blue color rockers.  GREY FTW!
