I just wanted to post some photos of my intake here, as my build thread tends to get spread out into other areas, like my header, exhaust, etc. I also plan on taking lots of photos of my engine rebuild and posting them here. It should look really nice with the twin Dellortos one side, and the polished stainless header on the other. I'm going to get the valve cover chromed as well.

Thanks Steve, thanks Jeremy.

I'm getting super excited about having a show quality engine bay, as I'm sure you can both relate with. I'm even looking at new AC connectors, and routing the hoses out of sight. I'm going to have to remove the AC while the engine bay and engine are painted, so it's a great opportunity to look into hiding the hoses, and getting a couple of new condensers, or soda blasting the ones I have now. I need to polish up some stuff and get it plated. I'd like to do something with the torque rod, as well a few other things, like powder coating brackets and stuff. Lots of things to think about... :)

If the book says it can't be done, do it anyway.
