Default lets see your enginebays!

Alright so Im a HUGE fan of clean engine bays. A clean engine bay shows how much a person cares for they're car. Mad respect for someone that keeps thery're motor clean! Lets see some pics of your bays. Birds and Maros are welcome!

I'll start out with mine. I had too sell some goodies due to the ecomomy.. things missing; granatelli m.a.f, trickflow intake elbow, and bmr strut brace

alternator is down low where the ac compressor used to be. i'm using the speed inc. relocation bracket. the centerbolt valve covers were bought off ebay. they're just centerbolt sbc vc's.

i strongly disagree, it just adds a statically charged sticky/oily substance all over everything for dirt and dust to cling to, and after a while it'll become a build up of nasty under the hood.

my advise is to take everything apart and clean it.

I agree with scj. I am always working on my engine anyways so when I take something off, I clean it and everything it exposes. Sometimes I just take things off strictly FOR cleaning lol. I have been slacking lately because I am getting ready to pull the engine before too much longer and repaint the engine bay
