Re: Big block engine bay pics!!

[QUOTE=DirtyLarry;6517299]Any sources of factory accessory brackets for a BB that anybody knows of? My factory brackets got lost many years ago. I would love to return the brackets back to original so I can go back with a period correct A6 A/C compressor.

I really like when the valve cover fins are painted to match the engine and\or truck color.
