Progress on build

[Lowndex]

I'm going to proceed with three-link (torque arm) suspension and keep the solid axle. It has a fantastic feel, and handles high horsepower better than anything.

I am following what you, Sailsman and so many others already know. I bought the timing cover you recommended. 8-rib pulleys and belts can wait for Marty to select and buy. I bought the timing cover so I can get it powder coated in Hello Kitty wrap.

Just kidding. I am changing the MMR valve covers, which are powder coated glossy black to sterling charcoal gun metal. I hope the following parts next to one another will pop!
a. sterling charcoal gun metal valve covers with blue inserts
b. indigo blue fuel rails
c. Metco pulleys with glossy black outer with polished inner
