Default Engine bay quick detail

Well i decided since I am replacing my motor right now and still waiting for it to paint my crappy inner fenders. This took about 4 hours of work by myself but for someone who never paints and $20 of equipment at ace it seemed to do the job. I figure most of the lower back is covered up anyways after the motor was in but meh. I have the battery relocation in the trunk so all the rust would have showed if I left it.

Before and after pics:

looks good.


what happened to the motor? I thought your transmission would go, not the motor.

No fuel boost regulator + high compression = quick death to motor. Going back N/A. Have a 393 stroker short block in the works
