Haven't actaully made a thread in forever so I figure I'd make one showing off my motor LOL. I've put super conductors as well as Edelbrock 1 5/8s TES headers in, painted the radiator mount aluminum & the valve covers black plus I got a digi cam so I may as well use it! Any comments are welcome, positive or negative. Here we go!

1. straight on pic of motor.

 

2. pass. angle

 

Sweet ride man! Can I ask you, with your ported TPI setup and SLP Runners, how does the car pull up top? What RPM does she fall on her face at?

 

3. drivers side angle

 

4. close up of the headers, jet hot coated.

Image removed- Rules are rules

 

looks good

 

I just shft to redline, 5,500 rpms, she pulls all the way.

 

what paint did you use on the valve covers?? came out way shinier than mine did.

why the knock sensor bypass?

that camera takes some damn good pics.

 

Looks great!! I'd find a cleaner coolant overflow bottle though..

 

The jet coat looks sweet; it ought to serve well for under-hood temperatures. Slick heater delete too It looks like a real mean engine!

 

Duplicolor 500 degree high temp engine paint gloss black.

The knock sensor is bypassed due to false knock cause by my headers setup, plus I run premium gas and don't knock.

camera belongs to my friend, Olympus 2.0 megapixel.

 

EVERY TIME I post an engine pic someone mentions the overflow tank. Find me a cheap clean overflow tank and I'll get it LOL.

 

SUM-G1478; Red
SUM-G1474; White
SUM-G1476; Blue
SUM-G1472; Black

$14.50 - Works great! And oddly it was the only thing that some jerks tried to steal under the hood when my car was broken into

 

They probably thought you had NO2

 

very straight to the point engine bay :hail:

 

I would imagine that would look wierd under the hood, out of place, if you have any pics of your engine witht he over flow tank I'd be more than thankful to see them so i get an idea of how it looks under the hood.

 

looks good only sugestion would be polish the plenum and runners, that would look real sweet. and you can still get the overflo bottel and washer bottle from gm and classic ind.

 

The plenum is polishable but the SLP runners would take forever and a day, thats why I decided not to do it.

GM & classic ind. are way over priced, but thanks for trying to help.

 

Nice engine bay 5Siz. I would go with a new stock overflow like this one from Hawks:

I can't agree more with your remarks about the summit bomb looking out of place under hood.

I bought mine from gmpartsdirect.com but do not have the part #handy. Hawk's looks like it would fill the bill nicely- probably the same stuff.

Best-
S-D

 

Very clean man. Looks really good. Here is another suggestion, take it as you will....try to get some spark plug wire seperators and have them hug the valve cover. You have a pretty clean engine bay and i think it would look even cleaner with the wires nice and neat and together. Just a thought! later

 

Looks nice..

get a new stock 91-92 over flow I think I paid like $12 from GM for mine a few yrs ago.

 

You should route the spark plug wires a little nicer, but other than that, it looks pretty good!

Here's how I ran my wires:

 

It looks pretty good to me; it's a real eye catcher - it looks pretty "serious"

Sorry the pic doesn't show it better, but I hope this is helpful. A blue one would look sharp on your car

 

doesn't look as bad as I thought, much smaller than I imagined.

yea i really do need to get some wire seperators, the wires are actually made for a corvette, but for $10 bucks you can't beat it!

 

Looks good. Are those headers right form jet hot or used? They kinda look dullish and I was thinking of getting mine done and didnt know if they ahve dull or shiney kind. Thanks

 

Id say you Pay for those headers you got on Oct. 18th befor you start to buy more stuff for the car if you ask me. Ya Its non of my buss. but when a Good buddy of mine gets riped off.

 

yeah... are those new headers? they look pretty sharp. where'd you get those beauties from, sergio?

 

what happened?

 

looks like hes a deadbeat buyer...

 

no not a dead beat buyer, just a victim of mail theft and appearantly everybodys reason to give me crap about it, I hate crap like this. Do me a favor and mind your own buisness.

 

I like the way black wires look better on some vehicles. I had the yellow accels on my car for a while and I traded them for some black ones. They don't stick out quite so much. But then again, I would love to have some red msd ones.

 

Mail theft.. You know what Get on the phone and get it tracked down..

and I am MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS... see I made a deal with Matt since is is a local buddy of mine. I told him Id coat some of his parts for him. and That Id collect the $$ from you if I have to since your dicking arround with him.

You know lkinda like buying the debt form him. So now Its my busniess also buddy.. and I wont be as nice as matt. I will get the Local Police Dep. involved. Im not as forgivning as matt and gona wate 2months.

You have problems with it e-mail me. Pay up or pull the headers off and send em back. Thats that...

 

only sounds fair to me....

 

plus if you didnt want people lookin at the car, you wouldnt have posted pictures of it. Of course the people tht were screwed out of their money are going to be LOOKING for you to make a post about your car. That way they can point out that you're a deadbeat buyer.... Not a deadbeat buyer? then get on the phone, and get some PROOF that it was lost or whatever...


douche nozzle

 

Call the cops and get me arrsted, go ahead. Everything is worked out with Matt so I don't see a problem.

 

Then I dont see a problem if its taken care of. but It took almost taking it to the next step to get it taken care of.

 

Payment has just been sent to him, I hope everything goes well.

I have a good rep. on these boards and do not like having people make me look bad. I know you care about your friend or else you wouldn't have cared, but everything is taken care of now so I hope we can all get past this as if it never happened.

 

Sounds Good.... Sorry this was draged out in the open, but Its been going on for to long now and This seems like this is what it has taken to get the situation corrected.

 

Hosting failed!

 

what were we originally talking about again........

 

Problem has been solved and all is well now. I truely feel bad about all of this. Also my friends were just looking out for me and concerned. Thanks again Sergio for your concern and cooperation. BTW Nice engine bay. Esp the Headers

 

heh, thanks. I'm just glad paypal actually did it's job!

 

Keep it on topic guys. Keep that other stuff to PMs or the classified feedback board.
