Tbi to Tpi Making the engine look good..

I am in the process of re doing my engine and making it look nice. Just thought I would share..

I had a 305 tbi now, new world torquer heads port and polished, roller tip rockers,polished alum valve covers, tpi intake, steward stage 2 water pump... Its comming together..

Going to take a break on the engine and put in the transgo kit and squirt the engine bay(as soon as the weather around here warms up). Then put it all back together.
