Looks great, I like how clean you did the swap. Makes it look like it came that way from the factory. Thats exactly the look I'm going to go for when I do the LS swap on my 91.

I like the body color engine bays. Even the heater box looks good body color.

Re: Show me your engine bay

I'm a fan of the body colored engine bays too. Here are progress pics of my LS1 swap. I'm just test fitting everything in the engine bay until I get the engine in there.
