Default COMPLETED the Underhood cleanup, finally!!!!!
Winter is pretty long & boring in Chicago, and with Silver Ghost's kick *** deal on powder coating I tore into the engine for a little clean up.....

Once I get all the parts back I'll be sure to follow up in this thread....

Thanks guys......

The MAF is going to be orange, throttle body black, LS6 intake manifold orange.

Valve covers black, coil brackets orange.

Should look pretty sweet once it's all in one piece again...
