======================================== =========================== Maintained the look of a 1961 V8 engine as much as we could. ======================================== =========================== Valve covers are the period "Chevrolet" script. Generator stilled used rather than the alternator that so many restorers upgrade to. Intake manifold is period also including oil fill in the manifold rather than in valve cover of later models. Exhaust manifold is period correct ram horn style. Non-period Carb is a Edelbrock 750 with electronic choke. Radiator was upgraded to a 3 row core with original top and bottom. Flowmaster dual exhaust system with pressure balancing was added. All New/reman water pump, fuel pump, starter, etc bolted onto engine. Maintained manual steering and manual brakes. Master cylinder converted for automatic rather than manual transmission. ======================================== ===========================
