Post your Engine Bay Pictures: Before, During, After

I would love to see some great photos of transformed engine bays. I love to see how neat some people can get things under the hood. I am going to post a couple "before" pics. Will be posting the afters someday!

Well, mine isn't pretty anymore. It's a big block that is pretty much daily driven and it's getting pretty grungy looking, cause it's pretty much doing what it is supposed to do, move it on down the road.

Here's some pics of my "before" and "durring". Unfortunately it'll be a while before I can post any "after" pics.

I never got it before but it looked like a factory 2bbl 360. ALL BLUE!
This pic is just to see what it would look like not everything is bolted down.


In this pic everything is done for the 4bbl swap and it is running but I'm still not done. I want it to look very clean with wires showing only when they should and everything either painted, powder coated or chrome.

Thanks to all for the compliments. I hope the rest of my truck turns out as well as the frame has.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet on you making the rest of the truck as well detailed as that!

I just hope neither my patience or money run out before I reach the end of the road with the pumpkin.

before pics never happened... lets say it had yellow moroso everything and rusty headers on a typical stock engine all covered in oil.

first time i had it out, just to clean it up a little.


after... after about 3 months pay actually... here it sat.
