@Tj Johnson thanks! It always ends up being a lot bigger job than anticipated. Although it wasn’t completely necessary I did end up making a new firewall because it was easier than filling all the unused holes and also adding the stepped center allowed me move the engine farther back which helped gain clearance at the steering box so we could keep the stock exhaust manifold.
@Jared Hill yeah. The coil covers are a real set of corvette valve covers. The part that looks like intake runners is made from sheet metal annd texture painted to look like cast aluminum. the top is a cheap pair of big block Chevy valve covers I cut apart and welded back together.
