Thanks for the positivite replies.
Yes I got the valve cover bolts, valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets form needswings.
He is very easy to deal with.
The clamps on the intake tubes to make them black. Scuff them with a red scotch bright pad, clean with solvent and painted with Krylon satin black. The trick to not scratching them all up putting them on is to bake them. I use an old toaster.
Works great for bolts too that you don't want to bother having plated.
I did polish the intake bolts, I will have to see how they hold up.
The SC I put some wd40 on it to help keep it from oxidizing.
This is my daily driver.
I bought the valve cover and intake cores from Red dog so I could refinish them and not have any down time when I put them on.
Thanks red dog.
I have my sets as cores now. If anyone is interested in doing the same.
You could buy them as is or I could refinish them too.
