just finished me engine bay

Well ive been working on this thing for a few months now and i finally have it done! I intalled a crane compucam 2040, hedman headers and y-pipe ceramic coated inside and out, ported the intake and powdercoated it gloss black, ported the runners, ported the plenum and polished it, powdercoated all brackets, painted the block and heads black, deleted the AC, Accel wires, Powdercoated the valve covers metalic silver( but they look more like metalic gold for some reason) and a few other little things. i should have taken some engine shots when i first got the car...It was a mess after sitting for 8 years. But anywho here are some pics of the engine bay now. I dont know why but i decided to keep it emissions legal so all that crap is still on their. I need some comments on what i should change or leave the same. thanks

Here are some pics of my engine that I just finished painting. I just hooked up the SMOG delete pulley, AC delete pulley, and cut off the AIR lines on the headers (not shown here). I'm going to remove the heater too...and the hoses going to the oil cooler, etc. I'll just have one hose from radiator to water pump and the other from thermostat to radiator. What do you think so far? Here's a pic of the painted engine compartment too. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]
