My first clue was no water manifold. Second clue was the LS3  :icon_biggrin:

Oh you guys. Smarty pants.  :laughing7:

Thought it was neat that someone would go to that much trouble (and $$$) to disguise the LS3 as a nailhead.

Hi,

I didnt notice the air cleaner, but on a phone no wonder (small screen) either way a nice job making a foe nailhead, seen a few modern engines done up like the older ones in hot rods

Well done!  I checked out the Riv that the faux Nailhead is installed in - WOW.  The stance is awesome. 
I was thinking earlier that I do not like everything hot rodded, lowered, big wheels.  But this shop got it right IMHO.
very tastefully done.  Now back to the Real Nailheads!
