The bug ridden front of the car. I swapped the ol' ford logo for steeda. You'll notice my fog lights, and all support bars behind the front valance are removed to save weight. It then cracked the fiberglass there, which I need to fix someday.
I will second those opinions...use the other intake gasket and better valve covers. If you want a subtle touch and like polishing so much(lol) you can polish the stock valve covers or have them powder coated(they make a "chrome" version). You might have to mess with the baffle to fit though. Very nice build and look forward to your progress.
Usually i won't talk this way about someone else's balancer, but that is hot looking!
Pulled out a Romac Red Series balancer to determine if I can/should polish it. I didn't want to sand it as it's very weight specific, but it looks great out of the box already, not sure I can improve upon that too much. I did hit the backside with the mothers polish, but no black residue means this is likely clear coated (yay!) so it won't all the hell like my stock one did. I was concerned when I was reading the instructions about how the drilling the crankshaft is required for installation (doh!) but there is no keyhole on it, so I think the instructions are meant for their race versions, not this street/strip version.
Alright, now you're just whoring the pictures! I have to admit, that is the prettiest balancer I think I've ever seen.Rule 34 about balancers now in affect. Here's more pics...
Looking really nice brother.Some fresh pictures now, I had to spend a great deal of time modifying the Ford Motorsports chrome dipstick to get it to fit. Got the dipstick installed, and the headers installed, and test fitted the new LMR polished valve covers.
