Post Your Engine Bay Pics!!!!!!
I am going to be cleaning up my engine bay this summer. I would love to get some ideas. I am going with chevy orange. Here is a picture of my valve covers & what I want it to look like. I also have Taylor hot orange plug wires. I want to see all colors, hose routing, wiring etc....... Give me some more ideas!

Jeeze Louise... relax on your "the truck will burn to the ground comment". He has braided fuel line. Perfectly acceptable. Even the NHRA allows braided fuel line...

Here is the SBC in my 1972 GMC 1500 Super Custom.

Post #5..Anyone know any details on the air cleaner? Off a vette, I guess. Is that a carb it is sitting on? I fancy that setup if it would fit on a STD 4b Holley, and I didn't have to rob a bank to find one.
