Re: Got some engine pics! (cardo0)
Thanks for the comments guys, it took alot of time, money and polishing and its all worth it! :)
to answer your questions
Jvette, the breather is coming along...i have to do a few mods to get it working then i'm gonig to get the base chromed
vssii58, i panted the motor with red engine enamel...i was going to use urethane, but couldn't get it in time...my friend painted his urethane, and we didn't really see a difference.
cardo, the thermo housing is an AutoZone special :lol: easy to find.

Me too Sure is shiny. Hope you don't go to cruise shows during the day. You could blind someone .
Looks really nice.
