Default Bling for Small Ford Sunday

As some of you may know, I am having a new top end built on my engine. Ford Racing CNC'd cylinder head (milled by 0.040" to raise compression), uprated valves and springs, Ford Racing Stage 2 camshafts, Ford Racing vernier cam gears, billet oil pump gears, ARP studs and bolts etc.

It is all with Rob Herrod at the moment, and I'm just waiting on a new set of solid valve lifters from the U.S. I'm hoping it will all be finished by SFS.

However, I've created a little something to top it all off when its finished, and I couldn't wait to share

Hope you like it!



Bought the stock valve cover (brand new) off a guy in the U.S for $50

Sprayed the cover with Harley Davidson black crinkle finish crankcase paint.
(Stuffed it up 1st time, had to strip it and do it again)

Got my stainless steel plug cover (Auto Specialists UK) CNC engraved by a company here in Melbourne (Dont ask how much! : )

Pinched the logo off the web, and the guys in the studio at work retouched and resized it.

All in all I am really rapt with it, and couldn't wait to share.

Generous praise welcome!
