Engine Clutter thread - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

May be a stupid question, but I have searched for a while and cannot find the Engine Clutter thread.
Doing a little work and want to see if anyone had any ideas for me...

I think we talked yesterday on another thread, but we're in the same boat. Here's mine so far. I've looked at doing this for over a year now. I've got some wraps ordered in different sizes and getting vette ls3 rail covers. Really boils down to 2 choices: buy a bunch of custom covers and cover the crap out of everything or buy some custom painted coil packs, powdercoated valve covers, etc and spend hours upon hours of rewiring and replumbing. I got some great ideas from another member here, and doing a mix of the 2 options. Covering up the coils and fuel rails and the rest getting rewrapped to look as clean as possible. Either way, both choices require lots of money and time. Personally, I'm tired of trapping in needless heat and want a cleaner looking engine bay.

I really just want to get rid of that silly line that runs over the TB and the evap line that comes up next to the fuel line.
Just wasn't thought out very well and looks like it was just slapped together after the fact.
Oh, and about the fuel rail flip.
I figured out why people don't recommend it.
When you flip the rail, the purge valve moves to the rear. That is not so much a problem as the bracket the keeps the fuel rail located does not fit anymore and you either have to remove the intake to remove the bracket, or mod the bracket.
Which I am going to have to do now..... That is really the worst of it thought..

Not anymore man look for them the two threads are gone for some reason. I had them saved and they are gone from my saved threads

Jayjellyfish212 · 03-20-2016, 10:34 PM
