tuff4rd,

Very nice indeed!
I especially like the valve covers, (don't know what you used to polish them but it worked).
And the wire retainers!
Good job.

That is just about the perfect look. I have cal custom covers to use as well, but couldn't decide what breather to use. The K&N looks just right with the valve covers. :thup:

Thanks alot guys :thup:

trukcrazy, the only oil breather I was able to find in a twist on type was a Mr Gasket. Im getting alot of blowby coming out of it and getting on the valve covers. I did check the oil drain holes under the valve covers and they did seem to be pretty clear. Is it true that a breather can be added at the intake?

basketcase0302, I used Mothers to polish the covers.
