Those might be out, there, but I made these myself. Just got a roll of -6 line and some fittings

Not slot of progress since I've been battling with some stomach bug, but my valve covers came in yesterday

I am curious to see the clearance between the passenger valve cover and the firewall.

I had to ditch my tall valve covers. It put the coil into the turbine housing.

These aren't very tall, and no coil packs to worry about. Should fit, but I won't know until I can get over this stomach bug I got

everyone expects a vette to be fast.....its a great feeling when you can get a 4500lb brick to move that fast

Well hopefully my truck will put down the power yours does, because I could live with that

Everything fits great

So I didn't like the way the heater hoses and catch can lines ran across each other, so I redid the heater lines yet again. Im also wrapping all hoses in techflex for protection, but also so it looks like braided AN lines.
