A lot is not original, but it was a mess when I got it.. used to be a poster child for Mr Gasket chrome...

**RenoKeene** · 03-28-2019, 06:40 PM

My 402. Thinking about going back to my stock valve covers.

wshattuck · 03-28-2019, 08:19 PM

some stock pieces, some NOT in my engine bay...

darrellyates · 03-28-2019, 08:25 PM

Mine is all "stock" too.....

wshattuck · 03-28-2019, 08:28 PM

yeah Yates,,,

the washer bottle!

71gmcC15 · 03-28-2019, 08:28 PM

I'm a fan of stock looking but a little custom is cool to. What I don't like is every thing body color. I saw one whare every thing was painted orange. Wires heater hoses and all and it looked tarrible. And seeing all these clean engine bays I figured I post a dirty one. Ps I hate these valve covers

Sure are a lot of good looking under hood pics here! @Metaldoc, is that sheet metal between the top of the grill and the radiator for cooling purposes, or just for looks? I really like that, in any event!

MT29 · 03-29-2019, 11:14 AM

The filler pieces do both, redirect all the air through the rad and cover for looks. Thanks.

Yes, it looks excellent!

**Steeveedee** · 03-29-2019, 04:14 PM

MY 402-

I see that MT29 is running those "baffles" as well as Metaldoc. Are these an item for purchase, somewhere? ...and mine is one dirty girl atm.

Ekliptix · 03-29-2019, 04:18 PM

I'm working on it.

Most vendors sell them. Here's a link to LMC. They don't work with A/C.

Figures. The vehicle that would need it the most. I'll look at making my own I guess. It'd be bent differently and have a hole so I can see the sight glass on the receiver dryer.
