Default New Engine Pics

Since I had to add a vacuum system on Jens car, due to high crankcase pressures, I decided to dress up the engine bay a bit. I still need to do a lot to it to make it look how I would like. So I added the Mr. Gasket Evac-system, GMPP Cast Valve Covers, Taylor (blue, Jen's choice ) spark plug wires and separators, and relocated the coils under the cowl. I also cleaned up the harness for the injectors, rerouted then behind the fuel rails for a cleaner look. What do you guys think (click on images to see larger pics)?

Yup, I went to Home Depot and purchasea 24" long, 1/4-20 threaded rod and a bag of nuts and washers. Then I used a pair of brackets that came in my B&M Oil Cooler kit and bent it to support the coils. It came out pretty good for the 30 minutes I dedicated to fabricate this.

Thanks Luis. The hood is still the same Glasstek Z28 hood ... it just barely clears.

I had a hard time trying to get these, for a long time after SEMA I could not find them. Luckily Scoggin-Dickey had them in stock and I was able to purchase them.
