Thanks a lot! It took me quite awhile but I had the stock motor out and was waiting for the new motor to be built, I had time to burn and figured it would be the best opportunity to do what I wanted.

Only thing I don't like is the oil dipstick, I am going to order one of the Lokar flexible one's as soon as I confirm the one I need

Amazing work. Looks awesome. Any way you could post up a few more detailed shots of either side demonstrating how and where all your stuff was relocated?

Just the start!

Here's an idea I mostly completed today. Why not run the main battery cable to the passenger side and out the firewall? I felt this was especially beneficial to me as I am relocating the fuse box there anyway. A side benefit is I now have an oval hole and grommet on the driver's side to run more wiring through! Yay! Moving it to the passenger side might let me get rid of the cable that goes to the fusebox as I believe I can hook the battery cable directly to it. The starter cable can be shortened but I will still have to run a cable over to the alternator. I'm pretty sure this will eliminate that wire tray that runs in front of the oil pan.

The cable will fit nice and snug along the passenger side underneath the plastic wire conduit that runs along the edge. It has to go under it, it will not fit in it because of all the other wires.

There is a small hole on the passenger side you can just knock the plug out of. The battery cable end was the same size as the hole so I hit it with a grinder on both sides and it went right through.

Forgive my dirty engine bay. I was wetsanding it when I decided to stop that and move the battery cable.

They didn't delete it they just moved it to a different location to hide it.

krusher · 07-03-2015, 11:35 AM

There's a few that did delete it. Go back a few pages and there's a post where he deleted it.

Finally decided to tackle cleaning up my engine bay. It was a lot of work, but it looks a lot better! Feel free to add my pic to the first page Nathan.

Things done so far:
Removed cover and clamshell
Replaced heater hoses
Flipped fuel rail
Painted throttle body, intake, and intake shroud
Replaced evap hardline with black braided hose and routed under throttle body
Replaced water vapor line with black braided hose
Black ARP throttle body, intake manifold, and fuel rail bolts
Sickspeed orange anodized washers under manifold bolts

Black braided hose on order for intake to valve cover
Going to relocate evap solenoid soon also

So, you guys are without a doubt the valve cover experts on this board lol so I have a question. I have a spacer on stock height valve covers and I'm still having a tap from my yella terra's. Can y'all recommend a set that will clear and look nice and have some type of screw cap for oil and pcv holes. I'm running high boost so I need the cap to stay in. I'm trying to start making my engine bay look like yalls
