this is the enigne bay before I spent a couple of hours cleaning and such:

 

and this is after my efforts, let me know what you think:

 

big difference... i like it!

if i were you i would use some mothers mag&alluminum polish on the fuel rails, and especialy that air conditioner compressor thing...

 

nice, i wish i had a bigger engine, i might swap in a 305 cause its my only car, dially driver.

 

looks good...

 

Looking good so far. You'll need about another three weeks solid, and a lot of Gunk and Autosol (not sure if you guys have that in the US), plus mucho elbow grease to get from this........

 

You do realise this will spawn yet another "cleanest engine bay" competitiion!

 

What goes with the glow-in-the-dark aircleaner?

 

DO IT!!!! I Did, swapped in an LG4 for the 2.8 in my 87 maro.... not much of a HP difference (150 vs 135) but the torque makes up for it (240 vs 165) best of all I still get the EXACT same gas mileage!! Others will say that the swap isn't worth it & neither is an LG4 but I think I made the right choices.

 

uk89camaro, that is one clean engine bay... you deserve a lala dance

:lala: :lala: :lala: :lala: :lala: :lala: :lala: :lala: :lala:

1986redbird, yours is purty too

 

Wow, looks good. That'll be next spring for me, along with polishing my plenum and runners.

 

WOW! I love those before and after shots! anyone else have any? I will clean my engine bay as soon as I find an F-body to buy. Let's see some more!

 

Yeah I really wanna do it. My car has 231,000kms. It **MIGHT** still have the original engine in it. And it runs good. The only rust is in the drivers side rear panel, but I am getting the body work done this winter. I looked under my car the other day, the ONLY rust I could see was on the floor pan, i'm just gonna sand it off.

I don't know what 305 I will put in it. I probally won't be able to find a f-body engine cause my town only has 38,000 people, btw, I am in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. So I guess me and my dad will put in a small block chevy 305. The only mods I want to do is Exhaust and anything else that helps gas Mileage.

I am hoping to have this done by the time I get my licence. (I'm 15) WOOHOO 3 MORE MONTHS till i'm rippin up the road. :lala:

Since I have a Auto 4 spd tranny I need to get a different one to fit the v8 right? A Radiator? and what else? I know i need from springs but they arnts nesessary either.

BTW, If you live in BC, whenever the cascade crew has a meet in BC I will come down cause I wanna visit my Auntie and Uncle that I havn't seen in the longest time.

P.S. I Think I will be able to beat most cars on the road, considering the low population and ****. Theirs a Mustang in our town that has a fake 'Blower' hood scoop BOLTED on, you can see the bolts and all. Everytime I see it drive by when I am Skateboarding I laugh my *** off. lol.
Holy **** why is this post so long lol.

 

Sitting Bull,

The reason the air cleaner looks like that, is because I got overexposed due to a rare metrological phenomena...we had some sunshine!

 

Oh come on now... The UK has NEVER seen sunshine. It rains there 24/7. Its true... I have seen it in movies. lol j/k

Both engine bays look really nice. I really need to do mine as well. I have a whole bunch of stuff I need to do in the engine bay as well. I still have a strut tower brace to paint and add. Also all new hoses and other misc stuff... Someday. Maybe I will take a day off work.

 

Very nice. I'd say ditch the single snorkel.

 

DSLDUDE,
I am indebted to you for my very first lala dance. I shall mark the event with a beer!

Mark,

I guess you don't just mean the plastic snorkel and keep the stock lid. You'll be talking dual snorkels and/or ram air stuff? Any significant benefits from these. i.e. 5-10 horses???

Twistopher,

Sun yesterday, this today.

Thanks to all for positive feedback...I just love that car.
