I'm rather partial to them myself.  Mind you this is not a full serpentine system.  The alternator and p/s pump still have their own separate belts, which I prefer

Naaa.  Bling means polishing.  Going to get them either black anodised or painted/powdercoated

Love that inlet manifold CammO and Triple Carbbies  :omg:   

Is height going to be an issue?

Fair bit of machining to do with inlet manifold angles to get it down....

Just got back from doing a check measure of the manifold height.  Woo Hoo, it will all fit under the hood.  The six pack air filter is a drop base. I'm excited.  :banana: Just waiting for the new fabricated valley cover to turn up and then it's full steam ahead on the assembly  :pepper:

Valley cover ?
The bit that covers the big hole
Under the inlet manifold
As opposed to an open engine where you can see the push rods doing their thing
