First work with the new motor was to install the ARP head studs. Made sure to get a cleaner tap and get the threads prepped before installing

Had the same issue as many others with low mount setups. I ended up just cutting off the 90 degree elbow and using the molded line that Kraken supplied in his kit. Fit great

Tried out paint the raised letters on the valve cover for cool points. Looks amazing, but I should have used a better matte coat. It gets ruin in oil very quickly
