Finished the graphics for the valve covers today and used the laser to etch them in. I am really happy with how the grayscale came out on the bag the ghost is holding, and the flames on the font:
Also notice the black top on the cam sync unit (where the distributor used to be). I powdercoated it in a flat black.
The nitrous bar has been epoxied into the manifold now, and then I milled it flat on top then drilled a small hole straight down to hold a spring roll pin. That way it can't ever blow or vibrate out of position. Sort of like pinning your crank. You can't see it in this picture but maybe I'll post a closeup for a while. The blue tape is on there to keep stuff out of the holes on the spraybar until the build is done.
A closeup:
Now I need to finish porting the header adapters (to the Stahl header pattern) because they come much smaller than the AFR exhaust ports. Then it's on to modifying the headers to accept one EGT probe per header tube. Then I can start test fitting the new motor.
