I like the standard covers for a more holden look, the Bocam covers are probably the best bang for buck sheet metals. How are you letting the motor breath?

havent decided 100% yet! probably just a can.

but im not really a big fan of catch cans...however i dont see too many other easy options!

Yea its a safe option to have a decent catch can set up. Size of lines from the covers and can size would depend on what your doing with the car. Just keep in mind it can be a bit tricky welding to cast type covers if your going to give it a go!

mainly wkend street and once a month or so going to t&t's.

this is where im undecided...bocam's covers with dash fitting already welded in @ $360 a pop "woh" or factory covers (which i prefer the most) and having to weld in 2x dash fittings, i wouldnt attempt this myself! so id have to get someone to do it

 

[mr j-man]

well it looks like ive got plenty of work to do this weekend,
picked up some factory rocker covers from a commodore wrecker...going to strip them and polish them up at my workshop wherethey have a variety of bench grinders with polishing wheels, sanders ect, just like i did with the previous efi engine... i think it took me 4-6hrs to do it last time.

Then im going to transfer the scribe marks from the heads to the manifold and port match the manifold.

made a bit of progress.
