Default 2 Engine shots

I've been wanting to finish up detailing my engine bay for a while & I finally had the chance to do it this afternoon. Tell me what you guys think!

I'm not a big fan of the stickers, but I like the look...Aside from me having a 1LE intake elbow they look similar, minus the STB...I'm a big fan of looking stock, but running far from it...I get second looks all the time at the track...until the tree drops...Imho, if it don't make it fast, then why bother?

Looks good, trash the stickers and move that relay by the power steering reservoir. That things stands out like a diamond in a goats butt.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Isn't looking mostly stock the idea? Any unsuspecting person looking for an easy kill will be surely disappointed once they hear it come to life. Its a forged 355 w/ a well put together heads & cam combo. The intake elbow is a Trick-Flow satin elbow.

Eventually whenever I re-coup from the engine build I want to get one of those chrome or black radiator covers so it'll eliminate the stock plastic piece. While the engine was out I power washed the entire engine bay but I have to go back by hand with some degreaser to take out any grease left when the motor went back into the car.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't Hopefully I'll make it into a nice subtle mix. Someday I would like to get a set of composite corvette valve covers & smooth fuel rail covers to top it all off. Other then that I'm pretty content that it looks that clean.
