lol, they are stock, they're just clean... I cleaned the hell out of EVERYTHING before I started putting it back together. The way I mounted them in a different way as well. I think it looks a lot cleaner.

By the way, thanks for the MS4 a while back! I can't wait to finally start this thing up!

Looks great. It must be more fun to work on the motor while it's out of the car.

Lol, the woman helped build it. She did the entire drivers side bank, by herself! She recently joined here- https://ls1tech.com/forums/introductions-greetings/892844-new-girl-illinois.html

It's funny because she's getting just as into this stuff as I am.... And I'm pretty hard up in to it!
