I agree with Jeff!

I think they look sweet, dave can you get me some contact info for the seller (prefferably a phone #) I am only able to look on ebay I'm not able to buy so I can't contact the seller :smile:

[GADJIT98]

brek, I sent him an email, when he responds I'll let you know.

So, you think these would look cool on a 401 with twin holleys?

I am going for a "different" look, not just the typical Eddy Performer & 600cfm with sidepipes. Rather something a little more "radical" but yet still keeping with a sort of old school tradition. oh, and yeah, I am too deep in this to back up & go the blower route, but that would be cool

:lo1l:

If you do get a hold of the guy maybe see if he'll drill holes and baffle them, also will they clear the blower motor on my 69' x

[GADJIT98]

the photo is not of the actual amc version, but i have asked him to send me a photo of them.

BREK,

Did you contact the guy about the drilling & baffling? What did he say?

Dave

[BREK]

he's going to drill & put 1 1/2"od x 2" tall tubing something like a velocity stack, no baffles and I had him make the covers 3 1/2" tall all to the tune of $175 with shipping right to my front door.

I'm sure if you want he would add baffles also, but when I spoke with him he said that he runs about the same setup that I am getting on his small block chev and doesen't have any issues with oil getting thru the breathers. I will keep y'all posted as to how these work out. also check out his web site www.JGangRacing.com they have some pretty cool stuff there

[1980_Cj7]

Very cool, let us know. I will be ordering a set of these as soon as I catch up on $ from the motor build if they work out well for you. I am also contemplating having him work up an oil pan for those of us that are running the TF 727 and have DS clearance issues.

[BREK]

well my covers came in and they look great :lo1l: , but theres one small problem the mounting holes won't all line up :(: . I sent them back today and the guy said he will make me a new set :t: , should take about another week or so to get them

[BREK]

got my new set and they fit perfect, no leaks or anything. The craftsmenship is great, the welds are all as perfect as I have ever seen. The only problem I ran into (and I do not blame Bob for this) is I had to notch the blower motor to fit it back into place. All in all this guy has some really nice covers and I would buy from him again :t:

[GADJIT98]

BREK, DO YOU HAVE PICS?


DAVE

[BREK]

I'll try and find someone who can post some for me :-| , I don't have a digital camera #-o
