    Hey big guy, I hate to tell ya, but I THINK your valve covers are backwards! LOL No wait, that's the right way, BACKWARDS is the right way! So confusing! LOL

    Hey Dan,
    Those are some wild valve covers. What is it, front is back or back is front or or or. I'm tired now, have to go take a nap and think about all this.
    I sure hope you checked the piston to valve clearance before you put that monster together?
    Looks good. Now the boat.
    Later 383

    I clayed the motor a couple times. I had about a 1/4 inch of clay and those puppys never touched..... I will take it real easy on it for the first 15 seconds.... Then its HammerDown....:wink: Sorry Ray!!!!

    Sorry I've been out of the loop! What cam did you put in your motor? Is that a B&M blower? What are your final specs?
