have you done anymore interior work? i want to see it, just out of curiosity. i still have yet to start on my interior.

nice. where did you get that timing chain cover from and how much did it cost you?

i dont like chrome at all (on my car) and so I went with polished aluminum valve covers and air cleaner... and that would look good with what I have....

409 Horse and 400 lbs of torque would definetly eat up tons of shit out there.
