Engine bay...ls1 Pinto

I thought I would start an engine bay build thread. I've been trying to stay as clean as possible without spending a ton of extra cash.
Here is how it sets now. Injectors should be here Monday so I'll start wiring the thing up. I'm going to try to hide the coil packs, inside the firewall?. Some wiring is in the inner fenders now.

I honestly have never heard that or thought of it myself. Thank you. Perhaps it ran out of gas on the side of the road and then someone hit it so there was no explosion

I'd kind of like to put some quiet exhaust on it. After owning a Grand National for 7 years I really like having quiet exhaust on the street.
so, quiet exhaust and find some steel rims with hub caps and go pick on... well everyone
