I just purchased an Edelbrock 4v 600cfm Carb #1405, and a 4v Intake (#2121). A perfect combination for my needs. I realized that this would be a perfect time to actually pull the engine out and do a nice paint job with new valve covers, air cleaner and maybe some headers!
I have never done this before, so my dad will be helping me a lot in this process. However I still need to research some headers. It looks like someone already did some exhaust upgrades in the past with a dual exhaust. I am thinking maybe I will repaint the engine and spice it up, then take it to a custom exhaust shop for new headers if they do that sort of thing.
It will be some time before I can start on this, but I would like to track my progress here. In the meantime, here was the engine when I FIRST got the car. It looks nothing like this now, it is much much cleaner now, but the block has not been re painted.
Here are the valve covers I will purchase in the next week.
Any thoughts on headers are appreciated.
