Almost, but not quite done (*_*)

Wanted to post updated pics of my TII swap.

I had to make many adjustments to things that were previously completed due to the addition of several parts that were not accounted for when I measured stuff for fitment. Live and learn....oh well.

I had several pieces powedercoated by Raspyrx7 such as, IC pipes, brake lines, hood latch, vacuum tubes, all brackets, etc......

I also just installed my FD alternator from Silverotor. This thing is a piece of artwork.

Finally finished my AN/SS fule lines, now I just hope they don't leak (^_^)

Installing the Greddy FMIC and K&N FIPK kit called for relocation/modification of many things, but looks nice so far.

Enjoy the pics.

Thanx

Michael

Nice work. I wish I found a place that had that kind of hosing and hose clamps. Its the little things, not just the big things, that make a good engine bay.

I did mine differently.....I did the swap to stock specs....once I get her running right I will install all my upgraded parts......less things that could go wrong.....looks nice though.......Everything that is blue in yours will be black on mine and I will powder coat everythingin the engine bay black like BATMAN'S FD...


EDIT: SOOOO SHINY!!!!

Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses

They are Samco Hoses and are made for the FC and other hi-performance cars.

Thanx

DevDog, that looks so nice. You really did a good job on the entire area. Puts me to shame when I think about posting my pics. I saw your post about painting the engine bay and I thought for a moment that I would do the same. then I walked over and looked in the engine bay at all the stuff I would have to remove......And laziness set in....I went back to the couch.

You did a really nice job.

Man...that looks awesome. I hope I am able to take my time and do a good job when I go to do mine. Im not sure if I want a flat/matte black engine bay or have it the same color as my car. Seems with it being black, any colored cables/wires/ect that I would put in there would stand out better.

Anywhos...thinking out loud. Nice job

well it will be easier to spot NON STOCK parts if they are bright and shiny.....the powder coating BATMAN has is called wrinkle powder coat i believe and everything has a grainy texture to it and if everything in uniform black it will make it harder for cops to figure out what is and isn't stock......most of them are used to popping ricer's hoods and are blinded by the mad tyte bling yo.........NOT SAYING THE ENGINE BAY ABOVE IS RICEY!!

Wow, that Is clean. Excellent job. I also like what you did to the FD Alternator.

How did you get your Coolant Overflow Tank so white?
