engine dress up, lets see some sexy bays

I would like to upgrade my engine bay, just curious to see what's out there that I could steal. Specifically valve covers and air cleaners.

My 390 FE. I saw some chrome edelbrocks at the oreillys I might pick up for $60. Good price. Plus it will match my intake and Carb setup, both edelbrock.

Not a dressed-up FE but very, very clean which is a goal in and of itself!:

Those are some very nice engine bays, I was thinking about an aircleaner setup like that. Either that one or one where it has 2 snorkels that come to the front corners of the engine bay with filters on the ends. Like this one,Spectre 765B Spectre Low Profile Ram Air Kit

That's a pretty cool set up but lotsa bucks to get the look. Wanna be really trick? Take an OEM air cleaner housing and just add another snorkel to it. I can find 'em all day at the JY.

Wanna make it ram air? Then buy some appropriately sized ducting and attach it to exhaust tubing welded/attached to the core support -after inlet holes are cut out of it of course. Now, THAT would be trick.
