I am running Eddy Victor Jr heads, with the Eddy single plane dual 4 intake. I changed compression from 9.0-10.8 too. Also added the Stage V rockers and went with Scott Smith Carter clone carbs. Those valve covers are Ray Barton plain black wrinkle finish. If you've kept up with my troubles of rear main leaks, then you'll know I've been revamping. My old setup dyno'd at 583hp@6000 RPM. This setup dyno'd at 675hp@6500 with 580 TQ@5200 RPM. And I have seemed to avoid a leak thus far.... After break in and dyno session! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.... Here's a front shot.


Very nice! Hope it all goes back together well. That's great about the rear main holding. Those can be a beastie!
