Default Pretty 350 engines?

Is there a thread showcasing photos of your dressed-up 350 engines? If not, I'd like to see some here!

There is endless options out there but IMHO Chevy got it right for the 350 for the 70-72 LT-1 cars. Pure and simple it just looks the best

Agree, while not the prettiest engine in this thread, mine makes me smile when I start it up.

Not a ten, more of a 6 on appearance, but a 72 LT1 inside. Currently 9:1 compression but will be 10.25:1 this spring.

All these engine pictures are great.
