no offense taken, thanks for your advice. It was heavily covered but after turning the engine over a few times to sort the rocker/ push rod adjustments out the lifters have wiped a lot off.

I always liked the black engine look with aluminum accents.......
My 69 R/R got the same treatment when I built that one...
Looks GREAT buddy!
Please use a good oil like "Penn Grade oil" before you think about firing it up!!!!!! Regular off the shelf stuff does not work on our old engines....

Hey Racetiger are those header (or manifold) BOLTS rather than studs? I'd like to do that on my new motor - partly to make a little bit more room next to the head when putting the headers on (every little bit helps). Do you know what the spec is for that bolt? Are they all the same size? I have the Mopar Performance version of the same heads (Edelbrock).

They look like ARP 12 point black - of some size.

Getting there...

Hi, yes they are ARP 12 point bolts (Chrome Moly Black Oxide), Im not sure of the spec etc. I bought the ARP Bolt Kit and it came in that.
I'm sorry I didn't pay much attention to them when I put them in and just did them up finger tight.
Im also away from where the motor is so I can't go have a look, (back at work to pay for more mopar stuff)
