Patrick,

I've spent enough that I might need your two for it!

I've been saving for quite awhile for the project. I'm spending a ton of dough on this one.

Hello,

No they are Edelbrock

$300

I like them but not that much.
They look just like the old Calcustoms except for the Edelbrock logo

Gary,

Very nice looking powerplant man!

Are the pulleys anodized aluminum or is that paint?
I hear ya' about how long it takes to save for a build like that...

I'll tell you what, it will be a screamer for sure. Just got done with mine, almost identical to yours. Edelbrock performer intake, roller rockers, aluminum heads and some headman headders. Hard to beat an engine like that! Where did you get those pulleys?

I can't wait to fire it up. Do you have any pictures of yours?

The pulleys are from March Performance. I'm considering using a poly v-belt conversion kit from them.

What Carburetor are you using on your 390?
