[HeavyG]

heres current engine pics......

before you ask....yes I will be porting and polishing my stock eaton....Gonna get the stage 5 via Steigy and my buddy Mansonozz for stangnet will be polishing it......

 

[3v2000GT]

you can barely see the valve covers on the Lightning, is it worth 375 to only see half the valve cover?

BTW engine bay looks good

well im getting all my wheels done for 200 so i would not say to expensive

 

[HeavyG]

dayum! killer deal!!!

or is that just what it costs?

 

[LSX7]

unless you get shorties! lol, they are a PIA!!!!!!! but i got a good deal on some so i had to buy them....

but for 87vertg... I would def save up and buy something else, and if you really want bling, go for the easily visible stuff (caps, shrouds, covers, ect.) the chicken man's got it all!

save up and get something else, but black chrome would be cool.

powder coat those, 375 for valve cover just sounds like a waste no matter how good they might look.

Talk to todd (01sleeper) he has a buddy that owns a shop for powdercoating

 

[Rafal@LastDetailAutoSpa]

if you're dead set on valve covers...check out team breed covers, they're pretty good!

talk to me baby!

tell me if you seen gains from the headers....from what I read...there isnt much of a performance increase unless you have aftermarket heads..???

yeah...I kinda like the Chickenmans's gear....but all those mass fabricated blingy things are a little tacky and unoriginal imo...

not to say the BBk Valve ares not but I have never seen them on a L.


I will Fho Sho be painting my Shroud :headbang:

yeah gonna go with Zac's guy as soon as they are off the engine...when ever that happens...... :crying:

But BBk claims you get #20 hp to the rear's?
