K, since everything in this post was a dead link, heres a new update:

I've had this thing since '03, has been on the road for a year since then.

When I first got it:

First paintjob:

I wasn't happy with it, so I've decided to do the whole car right, and a better shade of red.

Currently it's a painted shell, with a better fuel system, better exhaust, better engine... Oh, and of course a WAY better paintjob with far too many hours into the bodywork.

How is a chrome dipstick a mod?? :icon_lol2:

Looks nice and that motor sure will make it badass. 455's have been getting pretty popular.

Bling is bling! If I knew the same company sold billet alum ones at the time, I would have gotten one of those instead.

the short valve covers will work with aftermarket rockers you just have to use a tall rubber gasket because its hard to find tall covers that wont cost you a lot the moroso ones are good but they discontinued them so there expensive and the milidone ones are still not tall and look ugly

I forget who sells a pair of aluminum valvecovers but they are a little higher than stock and is what will probably end up going on it. The chrome oilpan is gettin tossed as well, putting the stock one back on it and painting it black to match the engine. I don't want the leaks associated with the chrome stuff. The intake, I'm not quite sure on the specs in comparison to the Edelbrock, but I like the intake, it works well on my '78's 455.

I wish I could say I got more done on the car this year, but I haven't

Oh well, theres always next year.
