Re: Lets see your 73-87 polished engine bays

Nothing too fancy.

- fan and shroud are gone, replaced by Flexalite 398 Syclone pusher in front of the radiator with Flexalite 31149 controller.

- chrome air cleaner top and nut, valve covers and wingnut hold-downs, oil breather, and thermostat housing.

- natural aluminum alternator, intake manifold, and cold-air induction plenum.

Crappy pics from my 'in progress' dually. I need to get one of those 'covers' for the a/c compressor like JWall has to clean-up that side a little bit more . . ....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
