What to do with my LT1??? Well while the motor is being rebuilt i have the top end all sitting at the shop and i am wondering wat i should do with my appearance. Heres the pic of my motor in my truck and than I will let you know wat I am thinking of doing. Than let me know wat I can tweak, or wat would look better.
My motor block is being painted flat black. THe a/c compressor, alternator, alt. bracket, PS bracket, ect...will be flat black too.
So heres wat i am going to do, these are the valve covers i have going on it.

I am taking the top and leaving it polished and than from the sides down, will be Powdercoated black.
Than i am going to get these fuel rail covers, fiberglass over the ''corvette'' and either leave it blank or put something like ''lt1 powered''paint or powder coat them red. Than i am going to do the TB black to match the valve covers.
Now heres the thing, i dont know if i should do theintake red to match the FRC's or black to match the valve covers.
so wat do you all think? Need suggestions and help fast, motor should be ready for reassemble in a week or so.

Next winter i am getting a aftermarket polished overflow tank, removing the ugly stock one and mounting it to the radiator support, moving the batter to the rear bed, ditching the windshield washer tank, moving the computer to the passenger side, moving the PS resevior where the battery is now and that should uncluttter the bay up alot.

though looking at it, maybe i can get the three relays on the firewall relocated down near the back of the intake more to lower all those loose wires and all and clean up the firewall a bit. Than just have the wipermotor painted black too. how bout that?
