im not a fan of them as im not a fan of the never body style front end swaps. i dont like things hanging lower the the body lines of the vehicle anything past that m no body kits, valences, etc. the valence doesnt serve much of a purpose on gmt400s where as on other cars like my camaro is was beneficial to cooling the engine.


Actually iirc the valence was designed to direct air away from the front suspension components to reduce drag

Good move on the whips, that thing is too classy for them! (All due respect to those who have them on their trucks)

&& i agree with BlueX on the demolding!

Pretty sure the spark plugs are the same but im not 100% sure. I know for a 350 they are gapped at .060 and I think the same for a 454. I have also heard of guys gapping plugs at .045 for big blocks to improve power and get a smoother idle. Might be something to read into
