I shall explain what I want to do via pictures:

This is what I bought:


This is my engine bay (before cleaning):


This is what I want (I'd like the LS1, but I wont hold my breath ):



Cliff Notes:
I want to take out my Engine Coolent Overflow tank and Windshield Washer fluid tank and replace them with 4th Gen style tanks.

That seems like an awful lot of work and mods just to make it look clean...ya know I always thought the best way to clean something was simply to clean it...I took this pic a couple days ago(at night)
I havent modified anything, but I think it looks clean(enough)...there is a little dust, but no grime. Ive been focusing on keeping the outside clean lately..lol
That is a cool looking mod, but is it really worth it? I personally dont think either of us have much to show off under the hood...


I do need to paint the area under the engine though...and I would like to clean up the intake manifold to...any solvants ya know of?

Thanks Genopsyde, I may try doing that this summer.
I thought yal might like to see what I think of as my favorite mod to date...
It only took me a few days to do and I get compliments on it all the time...





Looks great dont it? The tempo sits there quite nicely. It never falls down and there is no velcro holding it there or nothin'.

Yep, I went all out on that mod... In yo face cool!!!..lol

[Genopsyde]

that's a nice mess of wires you got hangin there too.

[malletslinger]

That pic was taken when I was working on a short that was blowing my gages fuse...all the hanging wires are from my alarm...what a mess that was, I took it out
