the intake and valve covers are done in a powdercoat called extreme chrome. the headers are ceramic coated black. all done by baycycles powdercoating. great work.

and yes stock valve covers. they do look alot better in the chrome effect though.

almost look like polished die cast aluminum in the pics with the powdercoat.

thanks. it turned out all right. got it from the junkyard all rusty. some cleaning, orange paint and powder coating make a big difference! the stock valve covers are ugly in black but look great with the coating. another thing that was done is the edelbrock intake comes with a big mounting point that sticks out. we cut it off and smoothed it out.

shoulda tossed some hughes #1110 springs and retainers on it, and had bullet regrind the cam with their HR259/316 lobe for both intake and exhaust...woulda sounded stock, but made a whole bunch more power

Looks nice! I forgot about them not having a mech. fuel pump.
Looks like you had to run a remote oil filter, as well.

mancini and hughes sell a cam snout extender to run a fuel pump eccentric on a magnum cam, so you can use a mech fuel pump with an LA timing cover like he's running...it's around $20.
oil filter is in the same place as an LA, ad the right angle adapter will fit a mag block, so you don't NEED to run a remote oil filter, but there's no way not to get oil on the headers when you change oil with it in the stock location.

Re: Got the magnum in. - 12/31/10 07:18 AM
Sounds good, & yes i agree with Patrick, you should have had the cam re-ground, Hope you don't put a steeper gear in it because it'll run out of steam "quick" (ask me how i know), it'll be a torque monster thats for sure, i really like the magnums, they run strong.
Another tip: Don't run too much total timing like on the LAs, they run great around 30*.
