Looking good man, curious to see how the covers and coils look. I was looking at those at one point.

Looks great, part of why i didn't show you my exhaust..lol.. Yours looks way better, mines all welded one piece. You need to take a video of how it sounds when you get it installed. Is the paint anything special..? I tried painting mine in por15 heat paint and it lasts about 8 months then starts to show scale on the pipes.

Sooo since the Valve covers are off i decided to measure my pushrods since i have never checked. I always ran 7.4s with all 6 cams i have owned.

Exhaust was 7.335
Intake was 7.320

With 0.08 recommended preload i can use my 7.4s

Exhaust: 7.4 - 7.335 = 0.065 preload
Intake: 7.4 - 7.320 = 0.080 preload.
