The outside heater box needed to be cut down quite a bit to clear the BBC. The problem with this is the heater core that mounts to the inner heater box, sticks out past the firewall 2 inches.

What I came up with is to move the inner heater box toward the inside of the car, so it will bring the core toward the inside of the car.
This was done by fabbing 18 gauge strips with a 90 degree lip and adding them to the inside box.

Your work is fantastic but please don't use those cheesy valve covers on this very cool build! I have an original set of Motion valve covers with emblems if you're interested.

Thanks.
Those covers went on a friends car, I just set them on there for the picture.
I have a set of CP covers that I am going to install a set of the repop emblems on. But I would love to have an original set if I can swing it. Can you post some pictures?

Thanks again

I LOVE those velocity stacks. Do they have the air cleaner built in?

I just sold an intake identical to that one.

Nice job on the car BTW.

The stacks are the ones that Mr. Gasket still offers. No air cleaners.
