    I'll be awfully dissappointed if you don't cleanup & detail your engine bay! Don't cut any corners being anxious to fire that monster up. Looks good.

    I agree with GS! An engine like that deserves a nicer home than the one you have it in. Clean 'er up!

    Man, you guys are ruff!!!!

    Actually the motor was just sitting in there, I was test fitting everything. If you notice the carb is sitting on top of the carb bolts and the water pump only as 1 bolt in each side. I was just checking for fit and clearance with the new plates. The motor is out again and the engine bay has been cleaned up, not car show clean, but it is fresh paint. Right now the car is ALL business! But I am very proud of how the motor looks!
