I removed everything possible to get rid of the clutter.

relocated battery
no A/C, HEAT, ABS OR PS
relocated alternator
relocated fuel lines using AN line and rail adaptors
relocated ECU inside under dash
aftermarket coolant overflow
custom CAI
sanded and painted engine bay
Canton Valve cover with custom breather setup
clean and paint everything I possibly could

short list

awesome looks and probably runs probably even better in person!!!

my luck it will pop the first time out

The plan was to get a nice car, but not too nice so I can thrash on it. I have the Mustang which already for shows, cruising and the occasional wringing out.

This seems to have changed as I keep making it nicer, but I promise it will still get thrashed on

OH...The valve covers are modified Cantons. We did baffles and stands for breathers. The pics over the gutted engine bay, fresh paint, etc, etc you see are the re-fresh. I guess I didn't do a ncie enough job

I keep taking it apart to clean or do things everytime I'm finished. I need to stop so it will just be done already.

We just did a 96 SS in a similar way based off my engine bay refresh. The customer should be posting some pics when he gets back in town.

Hey Larry...still at it huh...been slackin a little since I got back and with the crappy weather here but everyone I will get the pics of my SS up some soon as the sun comes back out...
