Not the 'cleanest' or show car by any means, and there is a lack of 'balance' to the engine bay (IMO) but, you'll be hard pressed to find any wiring which I consider makes a 'clean' engine bay...

Although the AIR should be gone, New fluid resovoirs are needed, and some wires could be tucked away.........just some helpful tips that's all.....

Hey, nothing wrong with some constructive criticism

I have new msd wires, Dist cover, and new resovoirs sitting in my room. Im waiting until spring rolls around to put them in. Cars sitting under a cover for now.
*Also that dust is removed too by those bolts

Mines not too bad, but not the cleanest. I hope to clean it up real nice after I put the LT1 intake on, even though the distributor and wires will be visable. I know, I need a new coolant tank

Far from actually clean but there is less in it then most others, I have cleaned it up some since these pics where taken, removed part of the AIR, and plan on getting it painted when I get the car painted in a couple months, and I want to remove the heater box, and polish my plenum/runners among some other things, but I got alot of work to do to get there.

Hey Guys!
I've finally gotten pictures of my car scanned before and after. Well, I say after, it really isn't after, but it's farther along now than when I got it hehe. I don't have the neatest engine compartment, but maybe I can get in as one of the most improved?

Here's another. If you guys could only see the fab work my friend at MB did on the radiator and trans cooler:hail: . The heater box and blower fan are all removed and there are no wires in the bay.

Last one I promise. Here is a BEFORE shot when I had the car last christmas. This was before I did the head work, and had the new rad, and trans cooler (along with a list of other stuff).
