actually I am going to leave it just like it is. It is the same color as my truck and in really good condition.
The fire wall insulation pushed against my new valve covers.
can't have these bad boys covered up

Default Update:

Well, I got screwed with the time frame on the powder coating, so the motor would have to wait till next week to drop in, but I will continue to build the rest of the piping this weekend. I picked up the twins today, and not the slutty ones on the side of the road. I was also pressure washing the front frame area because I am taking off the factory dirt coating and going to paint the frame gloss black for looks. Should have more pics soon.

Mark, check out this thread (post 318) https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...69#post7744269. It looks like ETP makes a 6 bolt LS7 head in case you are interested.

LOL, any particular reason? I would personally use the All pro WCCH head if I needed a 6 bolt, but I though ETP was pretty popular.
