Vette(s): 1972 coupe/350 cid/mild cam/4 spd/20 ft. paint (looks perfect from 20 ft.), but it sure runs nice.

Hey Matt, congrats on the new powerplant, it's a beauty. Where did you find the Weiand valve covers?  I'm guessing that's what they are.....

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

Has it been on a dyno?  What do you expect it to produce?

What is going to be even better than finishing the engine, is hearing it run, then driving it.  Keep us posted.

Looks good Matt. Can you tell us which magazine it is going to be in so we can get a good look at it? I am going to guess the detail will have to wait until the magazine comes out too.
