my project, oh boy this is great look past the dirt, and stuff. this is just a dry fit to get the fitment. still gotta vatt the engine and heads and paint everything. gonna clean up the chrome and buff it with a steel wool pad and then clear it, makes a aluminum look.
dont know what i will paint the engine? any suggestions.
now that i got rid of the water fearing LT1, i can bag the airfilter and pressure wash the engine bay.
remember "WORK IN PROGRESS!"

That motor appears to be sitting in the same location relative to the car as an LT1, so with headers its gonna be just like changing LT1 plugs.
