intake/exhaust mounting, what am I missing?

I spoke with Halfafish (Zach) :thankyou: for about an hour on the subject matter above~ really helped a great deal~ a lot goes on with the slant sixes!


Couldn't resist :lol:~ not quite sure to do about the used valve cover~ still thinking either red or black krinkle with the fin tips exposed , black would go well;)
Darn, the days are going by so quickly
