yeah i figure it will smoke a for a while at first but burn off. i didn't have time to take the motor down as far as i wanted and make it look good, but its good enough for my truck. heres a 347 i am building for my mustang you can kinda se in the background. this is more how i like them to look.

That will be a nice street car for sure.I see you added N/A that mean there may be some NOS or blower/turbo in it's future!My friend at work has a 92 coupe with a 347 and the biggest Vortec blower made 692 rwhp and ran 6.30 1/8 mile on 10" ET streets.Not very streetable but fun

Would you sell the Dana 60?If so,is it 4.10 gear,what year model and how much?Thanks

well i have run out of stuff to do till my adapter plate gets here. so i replaced the weeping gaskets, KDP fix, and polished the valve covers. was my first time polishing anything so they arnt great, but they were pitted bad. someday i would like to get a nice set and try it again. but there good enough for my ol truck. also can someone help me out with torque for flywheel and balancer bolts?

I'm a big fan of the polished valve covers

This is what mine look like in my 79 F350

Sharp truck, can you start a thread on your truck, so we can see more of it. I would like to see more pictures, but don't want to muck up symonds thread.

What did you use to polish - or how did you do it? I have never polished anything before either - but your covers look good enough to tempt me into doing mine!
