yeah.. did you sand blast that plenum? i steam cleaned mine, and its nowhere near as clean as that one

looks nice, and with the stuff you have there, maybe $200 more depending on what options you want and wiring stuff (minus harness ecu, injectors if you need those)

Thanks for the compliments... The intake manifold was actually cleaned and then painted with cast aluminum rebuilders spray.

Yes, the valve covers are a metallic grey. They are powdercoated with a cast aluminum base and then smoke grey for the top coat.

Loofee95SE, yes, everything is being covered. The entire shortblock was wrapped in saran wrap until I put the head on. Now everything is going to be covered once again.
