Good eye on the chrome caps on the black factory ***** . The alternator is a chromed case with a 220 amp upgrade. PM for the details on the chrome caps


Eric Bazan, thanks for the props !

Yep, those are the LT4 composite valve covers..... I forgot to put on my MBA polished buttons and spacers for the LT4 covers. I will take some pic in a week or two with those items installed.

Alternator? My original was sent out for chroming (took 3 months to get it back). Also got the only polished MBA fuel rail covers I've ever seen. (bonus collectors item now that they went out of business)

Same here on the alternator. It took me almost 2 months to get my custom 220 amp with chrome case. Yes, the car hardly ever gets driven. That is why it is so easy to keep it clean. Thanks for the kind words....

I think I gotta beat on mileage this year. Maybe 10 miles !


I know, I need to drive it much more !


Quick question for ya NoFear95, I see what looks like a polished fitting on the black braided hose ? I have often considered doing something almost like that on mine. The black braid tends to frey a little bit and I was wondering what you used to get that to look nice and finished off. Help a Bling brotha out !

N20blkZ, I have seen your motor before and it looks damn good ! It really pisses me off that MBA went out of business right as I was getting ready to get the last few things for my LT1 engine bay Hopefully someone will purchase there CNC programs and start selling the stuff again ! I like that you did the wire delete mod on the passenger fender. I have been thinking about doing it for a long time.

96SilverRam, that looks great, but do yourself one thing. Pull the alternator and power steering pump and then pull the accessory bracket and polish the arm on it. That just sticks out like a sore thumb. It's not too hard to polish either. Most of the surfaces that are seen are flat, and easily done with varying grits of sandpaper. I just did mine yesterday (in process of putting motor back together) and it only took 2-3 hours to get it looking pretty dang good.
