Ok - One last picture - Valve covers to come - 351W with Edelbrock top end kit. 
Isn't that pretty?

New 351W being installed - nice!!! I just thought I'd share as our 1950 F1 slowly begins to take shape. A million miles to go before we are through but the engine/trans are back...

Nice! Wished my Windsor looked that good!
Are you going with the finned aluminum Edelbrock valve covers? That's what I want to run on mine.

The Tt Be careful with those. I bought a set of the tall "elite" series covers and the drivers side wouldn't fit under my Volare brake booster. Luckily the seller gave me my money back.

I'm talking about the classic ones not the Elite series. I can't speak for the F1's but I know there definitely won't be any clearance issues with mine. A 4" body lift and no brake booster kind of takes care of that.

The reason we haven't installed the valve covers - there has been some internal debate on what to get. They have to be tall covers to fit over the lifters - I was leaning toward some with "Ford" in blue letters, My son wants some black ones with yellow Ford &
the ones we have show chrome flames - more of a darksider look.
Any links to the valve covers you guys recommend?

Here's the ones I'm going with. But they aren't cheap. I love the classic look of them.
They also have them in this version.
Here's the links to the Summit Racing website for them.
