Engine bay pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ron19 · 11-10-2008, 10:57 AM

Hey all! I'm looking for pics of engine bays. I'm trying to find the best layout for my MSD box, coil, etc. Would like to get some idea's. I'm thinking I'm going to mount the MSD on the pass. side fender well, but I don't have much room for a coil there. Coil also won't fit where a stock coil would go, on the intake manifold.

Please post em if you got em.

Thanks

Why won't your coil fit on the intake?

originalJD · 12-08-2008, 12:14 AM

Well, I don't have an MSD system. But here's an engine bay......

*LILRED66* · 12-08-2008, 12:52 PM

Here are a few of mine.

64Magoo · 12-08-2008, 03:27 PM

Not an MSD BOX but here is mine. My buddy has a 63 and he mounted his on the passenger side fender well and it worked out great for him.

Here is mine... Custom inner fenders so the tires clear....

Here's my engine bay. Note that my MSD Box fits nicely on the passenger side inner fender.

Nope I'm from Pa...Born and raised... I have the white 64 shop truck and a red 68 show truck... Check the pics in my profile...

To stick with the thread I always mount my msd box inside the cab or in the car that I put them in... I know they are weather proof but I still like to keep them covered and out of sight... Much cleaner IMO..

I am thinking that is a reflection off of those shiny chome valve covers..

Engine Bays look good fellas! Question: Does anyone have front custom inner fender wells made/fabricated? Been needing some made for a while now. Have made a cardboard template made before, but can't find it. If any of ya fellars on here have any made; just show me a couple of pics so I can get an idea. The front clip is a 73 Mustang IFS. Thank ya! Per-shate! Git-R-Done
