Cleanest engine bay!

I want to see who has the cleanest, most well detailed engine bay! I am particularly interested in cars with polished HSR's, but I want to see all your engine bays, and how you guys cleaned up the wiring and such!

Re: Cleanest engine bay!

That is beautiful! Very nice work! i wasn't looking for just HSR's, I just want to see how you guys cleaned everything up and get an idea were to route everything. I'm currently in the process of building my engine and am not sure what intake I want to run, so anything you guys did, let's see it!!

Very nice! I love the look of the super ram! Is that a different top cover on it?

Re: Cleanest engine bay!

86TA, what kinda of belt setup is that? March system? Do they come with the alt bracket I see and set the system under the valve covers? I love that setup and damn that motor looks good!

its from jegs, the idea is that since i moved the radiator and now its lower than the engine, the fill point needs to be at the top.

Demon355. the alternator bracket is March. its the mid mount i believe, the power steering is a aftermarket setup and is real low and clean and the crank/waterpump pulleys are March.
thanks for the kind words

Re: Cleanest engine bay!

Here's my ride. Sorry it doesn't have any extra polish or shine. It's maintained as an exact factory original appearance . . .







Not too bad for 69,000 miles.

Thanks... The top cover is/ was an option from Accel years ago (billet lid). I paid 170 bucks for it, then had to polish it, but the visual impact was worth it in my opinion. I bought it through Rich Jensen at Cruzin' Perfomance, but like I mentioned, that was many years ago.

Thanks for the compliment.
