Default BLING.... Engine Part Overload - Pictures

I did some work for a friend (97c5vette), so I've got a pair of Weiand/Lingenfelter Signature intakes (kinda rare especially in the future) and some various stuff. I didn't feel like pulling everything out of the garage but here's some eye candy.. as best that a cheap 3g iphone camera can capture..

Also, the stuff on the left is about one year old, so you can see there isn't much upkeep to keep in similar shape to brand new stuff.




Fuel rail for a '97-'98


Here's one of the belt tensioners/thermostats and a water pump...






Oxidation test...( 1 year apart) the left one is maybe a 9 and the right is a 10


One of the cylinder heads strikin' a pose.


Here you can see the John Lingenfelter signature (series) inscription



Quick mock-up in a [still] cruddy engine bay.....


The front cradle, steering rack, ebcm and bracket, brake lines, EVERYTHING is getting attention before it's over.

I've always wanted to see what it would look like to have a 100% stock appearing engine bay with the exception of the 6 pieces that are exposed aluminum being polished.

1) brake master cylinder
2) alt
3) alt bracket
4) waterpump
5) tensioner pulley
6) throttle body

Your daydreams are slacking..... why not have every nut and bolt and have the coils relocated, wires minimized/hidden?

How about a 100% polished engine sitting there like nothing is connected to it? If you're going to be rediculous, might as well be crazy rediculous is my motto. I can't wait to have it all together with a polished A&A supercharger stuffed on top.

Damn that stuff looks awesome. Would love to have at a minimum a fuel rail that looks that good.
