Thanks.
Quote from the write-up " However, to retain the appeal of the original Nailhead, the LS3 was fitted with adapters to mount the centerbolt valve covers that would have been on the car in 1965. The block, heads, water pump, and fuel rails were all painted blue-green, appropriate for a 19611966 Buick. An Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake was also painted to match and give the engine a single-carb look. The air-cleaner housing even has a snorkel and a custom Buick Wildcat LS3 decal. A 425 Nailhead would have had some trouble breathing through that tiny snorkel, but the LS3 doesn't have to worry about that, though, as the rear of the air-cleaner housing is made from perforated metal to help it ingest as much air as needed."
