My Spin on Another Engine Bay Upgrade... (finished)

[thahemp]

Nice work. I can vouch for the plenum cover being a PITA to sand down. The fuse box cover sucked too! I think your plenum cover came out better than mine did. I'll probably have to redo mine one of these days. I did pretty much the same as you, but I elected to spray the fuel rails too.

I completely agree. I might still relocated the coils to the frame rails, but I actually really like the look.

I used high temp epoxy on the valve covers since they sit right over my headers, GM bright red touch up paint cans for the coils, and a lot of sandable primer and high gloss spray for plastic.

Also some people asked me about what sheething I used. I didn't want to depin everything so I got F6 split loom. It comes in black, silver, and gold I think. I grabbed 10' of each of the 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1". I picked it up from cabletiesandmore.

Thanks man that's exactly what I wanted to know!!! I actually like the coils over the valve covers. I looked at all they had to offer and ended up with the Holley valve covers. Not because of the price but I liked the look over the rest. Personal preference
