I'm looking at going with something different on the VCs as well. I really like the baldy "Bird and Flags" 427 Thunderbolt look. If you have Barry's book you have probably seen some of these there. This is kind of what precipitated the Blue Thunder intake, as the baldys have no oil fill or vent openings, and the Edelbrock intake doesn't have the oil fill tube that the Blue Thunder does. I guess this seems like a roundabout way to go just for something cosmetic, but then kind of hard to go wrong with a Blue Thunder intake regardless of how you get there.

Sounds like a good plan you might want to double check is a modern set of roller rockers will fit under the old school baldys.
