Heres mine, its not the cleanest but I did just paint my intake and valve covers





My intake plate not on yet because I'm not sure how I'm going to paint yet, its not going to be a solid color though.

My clutch cable also snapped today when I pulled it out of storage which kind of pisses me off, I already got a new one I just have to put it on tomorrow

Yeah I do, I just realized I have a vacuum leak by reading the other thread in 5.0 tech, Im not sure if I should go open breathers or closed and pcv.

( I bought my car that way )

Here's mine with the new GT40 I just installed.



I haven't had a chance to clean up the engine bay since the install. Sorry.

I haven't had a chance to drive it much since last weekend, but it feels strong. Tom Moss ported if for me and I'll have dyno numbers next weeked for comparison with the Cobra I took off.

No, the acetone was used for cleaning the connectors on my a9p computer to get it ready for the tweecer and again as I'm redoing my door panels. I used paint stripper, but ended up getting it powdercoated(not painted).
Wythors, good taste in intakes.
