It's not much but it's progress!

This my engine bay now.
Not a pretty site but you gotta understand that I'm rerouting pretty much all the electrical and all the accesories are on there for a test fit cause I wasn't sure how my new pulleys were gonna line up.
They aren't in any of the pics but they are those CNC'd pieces just like the water pump pulley.
Hey guys what is your opinionj on POR 15?
I'm gonna need that or something like it such as black chassis paint to cover up the bare metal once I'm done cleaning everything up.

I have my weiand Team G W.pump comin in the mail so the ugly stocker is gonna go.
I'm builing up the whole top end of the engine but the stock pieces were put back so I could test fit the headers,pulleys and so on.
I'm gonna be plumbing all the heating,fuel,Tranny,Powersteering fluid through some aeroquip stainless lines.
I got a a Weiand Stealht comin to and I'm still,Deciding on heads,Carb,ignition and so on.

This is what it looked like not so long ago.
I don't feel like typing too much right now so if you wanna ask me about my build-up then go ahead and shoot and I'll respond or something.

That conveniently relocated windshield wiper fluid resevoir is just being ghetto mounted on there until I finish making the brackets to to mount it correctly and to clear the blower motor.
I'm not going to have A/C if that clears it up alittle.
I'm considering using the blower out of my RX-7 instead of the stock piece.
This sounds strange but you have to understand that it mounts in exactly like the stocker but it's alot smaller.
The relocation of the resevoir helps me clean up the engine compartment and in place of the old servo/Vaccum thingy there will be gauges if you catch my drift.

That's pretty much what the engine bay on my 84 looks like right now, except I threw the heater box and washer bottle away.

Here's some pics I took today after mounting the alternator with my wonderful brand new summit racing alternator bracket and the carb off of my Bro's RX-7 which had oil injectors mounted on top of it so it's all gumked up with motor oil but I'll take care of that when I rebuilt it.
Ohh and I also am getting a new air cleaner of course I mean shiit just look how small and ugly this thing is.
