That air/fuel mixture floods a painted Winters intake, hich centers a polished water neck between polished breathers and finned, 427" branded valve covers. Below those covers, M 858 rectangular-port heads feed a balanced rotating assembly that's centered on a steel GM crank. At the back of those heads, Mallory HEI distributor bridges the gap between a proven Comp Mutha Thumpr roller cam and loomed Accel SuperStock Spiral Wires. Below those wires, ubular shorty headers make quick work of spent gases. At the front of those headers, billet March pulley system spins a beefy water pump between a modern AC compressor and modern power steering.
