There you go again, making us all jealous of your ridiculously clean and nice looking engine bay.

Click to expand...

the spark plug wires were pretty hard, but i just cut the ends off and reattached the metal that plugs into the coil packs. and the valve cover, i degreesed them, sanded with 320 grit, then i used krylon plastic primer, and krylon aluminum high temp, oil and gas restant paint! its holding up pretty good so far!

Very nice. Are you going to get some billet pieces to dress up under hood? Maybe an aluminum coolant reservoir?

One of those aluminum coolant tanks would finish that beautiful engine bay off very nicely
