Post pics of your Engine Bay!

This is a thread for people to post pics of their engine bays. People can put pictures and tell what they have under their hood. this can help other people get ideas of what they want to do on their projects. i know i would have loved to have ideas and references for engine builds and cleaning/dressing my engine bay when i started it. i want a big turnout here of good shots of your motors. i was gong to post pics first, but someone has the car and the camera is in it with pics of my engine bay in its current state. i will post pics as soon as it is returned.

come on guys, i know you're proud of what you got. show it off.

Good lord... that turbo's bigger than the engine!

Here's the other end of the spectrum; Stock 12A, except for paint.













I'll get some shots with the air cleaner on, but it's not painted yet.

Jesus DD you did a hell of a job on that bay.
Theres mine with a Sterling and a wrapped RB dual header. Just picture a white RB Filter assembly on top of the carb, and it's alot cleaner since I went through a bottle of Simple Green and two rolls of shop towels.
