I then decided to pull out my 393 out of my project stang and drop it in this car. So now I have to clean the stroker motor up. Pic 2. Still need a few things. Just brackets and minor things. After I cleaned up the motor. I decided to clean up the engine compartment. Then one thing lead to another and now I have hidden all of my wires under the fenders and front bumper. Move the entire wiring harness and re-install. Took about 6 hours total, start to finish. Well, finished with the factory items. Still have to wire up a few things in addition, msd 6AL, multi-step retard, flex-lite fan, and the N20. Here are a couple of pics of the engine compartment at different stages. Still waiting on my welder so I can fill in the holes in the fenders and such and I am going to box the frame rails and make everything smooth with bondo and fresh coat of paint. Not sure on the color for the engine compartment. Any suggestions? The avator is my car. Not a really good color in my opinion for an engine bay. Might just stick with a glossy black. Also waiting on my Griggs front suspension. Tubular K-member, A arms, and coil-overs.
