Default Few progress pics (UPDATE with ?s)

The engine bay stiil needs painted...and my camera sucks..but Ill swallow my pride and post pics anyway















UPDATE: The car is completely ready to go except for a wiring issue that I cant solve. The coil and ignition box warm up when I turn the key on to accesories. If I turn the engine over, the ground running from my block to the chassis (used to go from the cylinder head to the firewall with the EFI setup) will also warm up. Ive went over the wiring repeatedly and it seems to be right. No matter where move the grounds to, the same symptoms occur. I am using a Duraspark II ignition box and distributor with an MSD coil. What am I missing here?

you should have pulled the whole motor out and just painted it really quick. like this!






you gonna pull all the efi harness out right? it will look a lot cleaner without it.

Yes the heads are Edelbrocks. The carb is a 650 DP. I still have to wire up the fuel pump and fan, then fasten the fuel lines and battery cables and Im done. It would look better with a painted engine bay but I dont have the time right now.
