Let's see your clean, stock, big-block engines!
As I'm about to enter the "put it all back together phase" soon, I'd love to see some photos of stock restored big-block engine compartments. I took a lot of reference photos before teardown, but it always helps to see a few finished ones for inspiration!
Here's a shot of my Pontiac's engine bay for a general sense of what I'm going for, but of course it's your 67-72 big block TRUCK that I need to see!

Not really a "compartment" at the time.

Re: Let's see your clean, stock, big-block engines!
Here are some "in use" pictures that may not be what you are looking for but they may provide details. The orange '71 I have several 1.5mb shots of if you want them. The truck was very original and other than an upper rad hose, possible t-stat and alt. belt it looks original. Even has the paint on the bypass hose clamps! BTW Last night I dug up a link for another post for a CD manual set you might be interested in.

Re: Let's see your clean, stock, big-block engines!
Not as clean as the pictures make it look. Mostly original with California emmisions still intact.

This is my 475 (.100 over 454) but pretty much stock looking.
