Before



After




Pulled the motor to make a few changes (very long story) and to install the k-member, so I thought I would clean up the engine bay. I started to fill all the holes, but that takes for ever. Believe or not, I just sprayed it myself with cans of spray on bed liner. It really turned out nice. I ran all the wires behind the dash and inside the fender wells. Just though I would share the results.

The gt-40 intake was pained the same time the car was, it turned out nice, but it was holding the car's performance back. The brake lines are still there, I just painted them so they blend in. Thank guys

I had a lot of time to play with it. The motor was out of the car for a year for unforseen difficulties, the long story I mentioned. I have no idea what it will run, I have not raced it yet. I still have to get the roll bar installed, and get the car tuned on the dyno. I hope to run it very soon. The old combo went 12.1@113, but now I have more gear, intake, suspension, and the car is lighter by far. What do you guys think it should run. It should be around 375rwhp?? and weight in about 2750lbs with me in it. Thanks for the positive comments.

Bedliner looks great, Good idea. You did a lot of mods at once, holy.. The alternator looks great too and I absolutely love the elc. Water pump. How does it work?

I did do a lot of mods at once, one thing always leads to another what can you do I love the CSR water pump. I am running an afco rad, black magic fan, and I have no thermostat, it has been gutted, and I can beat the car all day long in the NM heat and it never exceeds 180 ever. I could not have asked for a better running combo, it is really street friendly even with the skinnies, spool and big cam. Thanks
