    Any info on how you made the vents functional?
    Here is what I used to make the vents work, but I just cut the metal on 3 sides and bent the metal down

    Sweet! Congratulations!

    I can't swing for the aftermarket block right now, but I really need to get my 347 assembled so I can get my PC back on the road! Probably be next summer before that happens.

    Keep the updates coming so I can live vicariously through your accomplishments.

    That blue color shows up on my monitor like the satin blue used on newer Mustang rocker or coil covers
    Coyote, Shelby, Cobra, SVT, FPP, LMR #PPG-17675K.

    More vivid and touch darker than Ford engine light blue or Grabber Blue.
    Sharp choice it is. Goes well with aluminum and silver colors.
    Reminds of the power look of the Mach 1 shades of Blue/Argent ram air hoods of early 70's, 1972 etc.
    3J Bright Blue Metallic, Grabber Blue.
