Tommy K's Gibb/Harrell Nova
 

As I did not, if anyone took some good quality close up detailed shots of Tommy's engine, would you please consider e-mailing me a few of the more detailed and intimate shots? I am mainly interested in the factory overspray and lack of overspray on the block behind the headers as well as intake detail. I have a customer that is having trouble deciding how much to go with and this engine has some good quality detail (thanks to SCW). Thanks in advance for any help.

Bruce,
Thanks for that quick response. Those are good but I would like some real close up shots if possible. I particularly wanted to see the painted codes on the drivers side of the block and lack of orange paint as well as some of the other details. For reference purposes, if anyone has such pictures of any BB (preferably 1970) I can use them as well especially ones showing valve cover, intake and exhaust manifold overspray. I just remembered how nice Tommy's was done. Thanks guys.

That 396 decal is so cool!

Rick, can it wait till the weekend? I'm sure I've got what you need....

I'm thinking Jeff is right...right after I took these pictures, Jeff almost took a 'header' into the pavement with his camera https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif...so I know that he was around the car at the same time.

Jeff,
Absolutely. The engine won't even get painted for another 4 weeks or so and this will give me time to work on the owner. Maybe if I get enough guys to send him hate mail he may let me do it correctly. (just kidding DL)

By the way I am just kidding. The are good insights to both sides of the arguement. I just like seeing cars restored to some degree the way they were made and few restorers do the cars this way.

OK, I'm dying to know exactly what year and engine
configuration this is. First of all, I've never seen
one of these before. A 396 with tri-power? What HP
rating is this setup? Any details for the obviously
less informed ( that's me I guess )? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
