those valve covers are sexy time man

i love a clean engine, looks so much more powerful!

cant wait to see that thing run!

Animul valve covers are so sick. If only it was still in business. Looks really nice.

Looks good, be sure to tuck the wires when you re-install it to keep that clean look

Thanks everyone glad you guys like it.

And I would have to agree the animul cover is amazing, i think that i really sets the motor off, really wish that the company was still in business i paid $100 for that bad boy locally ...and after seeing how clean things can get i am going to have to be sure to try and keep it that clean so it can continue to look just that bada$$ lol.

Ill have to be sure to post a video of my first start for everyone

wtf cam is that?

The cam specs are on the box that is in the picture.

Well made by Comp-Cam but to answer your question it is a custom made cam, really do not know what it would compare to tho

ah, gotcha. that's what i was thinking, but i wasnt sure and i was too lazy to look at the cam chart.

I was going to look at the cam chart, but said **** it.

close comparison would be the xp-z (quote from zzp site about xp-z:Peak lift of this cam with 1.6 ratio (stock) rockers approaches .570 on intake and .540 on exhaust.) but mine is still bigger

I love the valve covers, not sure what the cam would even be close too??? maybe a Super six L36. It's kinda close. (somewhat close anyway)

i think the only other thing i still wish i would had done was installed an electric water pump, but really couldn't come up with the money for it, i didn't really realize just how much a build like this would cost until i did it

i have it, its only useful and worth the cost if you go to the track.

got her running the other day and made a little first start video, not the best but it'll do i hope...also drove her for her first 10 miles today w00t w00t

Good job!!!

Clean build, what size pulley is that? L67? About the same build I want to do in the future.
