As I've mentioned before, I've been following the "Cleaning up your engine bay" thread in the V-8 section and tackled a little more clean up to go along with my new coil pack covers. I wrapped more wires in some awesome split loom that looks like braided nylon and also took my redneck paint pen to exposed wires and connectors.

I also had accidently ordered more touch up paint than I needed and decided to paint some of the cast parts on the front of the engine (Water pump, thermostat, alternator cover, and other parts I can't identify). I didn't clear these parts, and as I'm actually several months behind on updating, I haven't had any issue with the paint changing color or any other ill effects.

I painted the throttle body in a satin black finish and added some ARP bolts to spruce things up.
