Well my point was I don't think those engine covers (link you provided) look very good, especially in high gloss, makes them look cheap. Still better than the Turtle shell though.

I will get a complete standard 308 for just over a grand, which is all I want. I don't want to have bucket loads of power. There are a number of reasons for this, with the main one being that I don't want to kill myself or twist the chassis into something resembling a licorice twist. The other reason is the fact that I will most likely be using the standard exhaust manifolds, which won't equate very well with a shirt load of power.

I'm gonna warn you: You are awful close to flaming, there. If not actually flaming. Take your criticism down a notch. He's given a good reason for using stock manifolds, as far as I'm concerned.
to Guska: Of course, if you ever find the old (Gen-1 Chrysler Hemi-based) engine out of a Toyota Crown (i think it was)....that would be neat.

Jim, I hadn't thought of that, it may be a better way of going, as the crown is a physically smaller car (than the Holden donors I am considering), made by the same manufacturer, so theoretically it *should* make the job a little simpler. Also, for the record, I agree with throttlehappy about the manifolds.

No, wait, It's the CENTURY!!!! My bad.
The problem that I could possibly forsee with the Century Hemi V8, would be the size of the Hemi heads and that fact that it might not fit between the fenderwells because of that. I know that Mopar's Hemis were (are) extremely wide, thanks to the size of the heads themselves, but the Century's mill is supposedly scaled-down from the first-gen Mopar.
and then one wonders about how Toyota's 5.7L Nextel Cup mill would fit...
The engine is known as the "V-series," the 4V or 5V would be the best choice (Early, carbeureted 5V, that is,) though I don't know what sort of aftermarket exists for either engine.
