Default Windsor is almost ready to go!

Picked up a new to me rebuilt Holley 650 4bbl the other day, just waiting on my crank pulley spacer and deciding on clutch/flywheel options

Nothing special really, I got a hell of a deal on a fresh remanned long block. I slapped in a Crower cam, Rhodes lifters, edelbrock air gap intake manifold, Holley carb, BBK shorties. I know my choke point is the heads and I'm saving up for a set of AFR Outlaw 185's. Life happened and I've been in the garage for 2 years and just itching to get back on the road.

Lovin' the color scheme. Are those stock valve covers? They cleaned up nice. I thought about using the 302's valve covers and ditching these goofy tall ones ive got

not gonna work for you, expecially if you have stud mounted heads and roller rockers, if such is the case, you've gotta have the tall ones

I figured they would hit. Its more so the valve cover baffle they come into contact with, correct?
