Engine pics!!!

if you've got a nice clean engine, stock or modified, post it...

also, i've noticed a lot of under-hoods with the protective black mesh material removed...isn't that there to preotect the hood paint from heat produced by the engine??

Heres the one in my sig but a little bigger, its a 360 {a 350 bored .060}
Note the small gauges located where the A/C box used to be, no more peeking inside to see engine status!

Here's a picture of my engine bay. I'm slowly working on improving her looks but other projects have forced me into taking a detour.

A few pictures of the polished plenum:

A picture of the reflection from a spark plug:

The difference of of what it used to look like compared to the plastic cover:

I will be getting the aluminum one shortly if I don't sell my car by then. Looking to switch to a supercharged Mercury Cougar

lb: I know I have said it before but you are is the most amazing on this site. Too me at least. You have all the mods that I want to do on my vert. The only difference is I want to go with the ATI P-1SC. But I want to do the large tube runners, and 17" silver ZR1s. I have my Jamex STB that I painted up last night. Hopefully that will be going in soon.

Again unbelievable... of course I can only say that when I am work cause my car might hear me at home and get jealous.

THANKS GUYS,
The car was stock up to a couple of years ago, then I found this site and that was what did it for me.
This summer I'm swapping out the heads for some ported aluminum units, New SLP 1 3/4 Headers,and some 17X11 SS wheels with 315x35x17 tires on the back.

My goal is a mid to low 12sec. 1/4

Thanks again
