When I pulled my 270 from it's original home a '57 GMC 1/2 ton pickup it was orange. A little yellower than Chevy I think. A friend in high school put a junk yard 270 in his '54 Chevy sedan. We raced before he got the hood on it. I was running what I thought was a hot flathead in a '38 Ford coupe. I beat him twice but that long orange valve cover was never out of sight.
Yes Clifford intake but mine in not marked. They were doing some changes when I ordered it. I'm running a 500 Edelbrock sidewise. My cam is Clifford too. I originally had Clifford Viper tube headers and the engine turned higher rpm with them. I use a cable throttle and after having to drive from Reno about 30 miles home over the mountains through Virginia City using the hand throttle late at night I cary a spare cable under the seat.
