Finally found one in the wrecker, special thanks to WagZE for telling Tunes67 who then called me and said get your @$$ up here :) cant go wrong for 35 bucks

I will be tearing it down, porting, and port matching it. Then soon hopefully I will be able to get in a dyno run here in the near future to compare with the dyno run I have on file.

I am in a bit of a debacle though. I am not sure whether to paint it or polish it. If I polish it I think I will just clean up the casting marks and smooth it out not a mirror polish. If I paint it what color? silver, black, gunmetal? I was kind of leaning towards black for the old school drag and figure 8 racing. The theory is matte/flat black IM to help the heat come off of it faster and paint the underside a gloss white to help repel the heat from the engine. Now in theory it could work but I don't think it would be much of any difference to notice. but my valve covers are going to be red in wrinkle finish, so black and red kind of clash a bit in the engine bay for me. m

I am in need of used KLZE intake gaskets. so if anyone has some laying around they dont mind parting with let me know.

Thanks

Polishing it is suppose to dissipate heat much better.

Vented wiper cowling, and a scoop on the front of your hood... That's my ventilation wet-dream. :love:
