TeamHT Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 honestly, it doesnt make a huge, noticeable difference. other than appearance. it doesnt matter if the engine is a sohc, grand am motor, if the engine bay is clean and spotless and the engine is shiny, it gives the impression of better performance. plus, who honestly wants to look at that? like painting, the hardest part about the engine bay is prepwork. but dont cut corners, make sure everything is sanded, taped, wires are seperated correctly and easy enough for you to put back. i wouldnt spend a lot of money on an expensive paint job, and a lot of people come to me asking to use rattlecan just to save them money. you can get everything you need at a smaller auto store. in fact, im powder coating a person valve cover right now and he asked me to do his engine bay. its a 96 eclipse gs-t, was red, but the color will soon be changing. heres a pic i just took with my cell.

TeamHT Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 and yes, i do know the top part of the firewall has not been done. as stupid as i think it is, he asked i do not do that part. not too sure why, but the customer gets what he wants.

Gotloud555 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Well i like to see a clean engine bay. I was hoping that latez on i can do a wire and brake tuck on. I got rid of my A/c because i hardly use them. I was thinking about getting a manual steering rack, but not as yet. It took my a while to clean the grease bay.. I sand off all the basecoat. I wish i had a welding machine so i could weld this holes.. I painted it green. Not done painting as yet. Putting back all the brake lines and wiring. I was thinking to put the battery on the right side passenger... Edited April 13, 2010 by Gotloud555 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wastehog Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Nice.. Good work.. That huge timing belt you got there.. That isn't a timing belt. It's the belt drive for the blower.. I hope you're joking, because you have engine swapping in your interests, so I hope you're being smart.. if not then... On a side note, the engine bay looks bad as hell. Hate to get an oil leak, that's for sure. Edited April 16, 2010 by Wastehog Quote 1985 Chevy Silverado Black and Silver SBC 350/700r4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
