Not the best quality paint job, used 2 year old paint, and was rushing just to get the bay painted so I can move on, but it came out decent. When I get settled in my own house I'll more than likely re-do it and make it real nice.

Well I think it looks great. The smoothness (& being hole-less) is awesome.

Just be lucky you're in FL and you don't have to wait all winter for a nice 50-degree day to come around, just so you can shoot paint. That pissed me off last year.

Looks great though - what's going in it?

thanks guys

The stock engine is going back in it for now. It'll have an eddy intake, 75mm tb, T-70 turbo, and supporting mods until I can afford to build a nice stroker.

Of all the things I like about New England, the seasonal outside painting is not one.

Nice looking engine bay 1105.

Stock engine?



Sounds "not so stock" to me, lol.

ok ok, stock block, heads, internals, cam is that better

It should be fun and this time I'm defently getting it tuned before I even get into boost. Last time I forgot to adjust my tune on the tweecer (was setup with 42lb injectors with stock heads) so I leaned it out a lot and forgot to change it back

I want to do that to mine. Isn't it hard just removing everything. I'm talking more about the electrical crap. What did you do to make sure where everyting goes and where are you going to run the wiring through. It's so bad ass that I don't think I could ever do it.

The wiring is going to be put back in the fenders like it was before. For everything else, I put all of the bolts/nuts that are for one thing together so I know which ones go where.

It was a lot of work and something I wish I would have never started.

My paint didn't come out the way I expected but after everything is installed its tough to see those spots anyway.

Just think, it's better then what it was before.

Looks good Zach! I plan to do the same to mine soon.

Joe, do you have any recent pics of your engine bay?
