No, I took my time on the whole swap (cleaned up a lot and painted some stuff) so it was pretty late when I got done. I did fire it up and let it idle for about 25 minutes (I'm sure my neighbors loved me) and the idle sounds a bit more choppy. I took a small bit of video; I may post later if I have a chance.

I would like to; however, I really need to tear apart the transmission and fix the 3rd and 4th gear shift problem. I may do that one night this week.

I wonder if anyone makes some clear valve covers? That would be neat!

Yes, they make ones made out of Lexan. I've seen them on many show cars, but never on a street car -- I'm sure they wouldn't be clear for very long.

I really would like to know what they flow; that's why I posted a thread a while back asking if there were any places with a flow bench around here. I may actually send them off and have them flow tested when it comes time to put them on the 427.

Ahh, ok. Lookin' good though. I had the same rockers on the Unicorn.

Yeah, I thought about it, but since it was after 11PM, I figured the neighbors wouldn't appreciate that too much.
