hey guys i was just wandering if you guys had pics of your engine bays and what you guys tucked or removed to make them look cleaner. i want to get ride of some of the clutter underneath the hood. i have an 88 fc vert. i have already started doing some things.

New smaller fan

also do you guys no if im not going to be driving my car at all in the winter can i remove the sub zero assist system or would that hurt somthing else if it wasnt there?

 

I would say leave it alone, cleaned up it looks pretty good IMHO.

unless you go removing all the accessories and emissions, which then makes
the car a bit unfriendly.

concentrate on detailing what you HAVE rather then removing.

my pic happens to be the same year as yours convertible.

 

hey thanks yeah i think im just going to do the easy stuff to make it look good. aftermarket intake, fan, battery in the back see how i like it then. thanks though

 

Damn ROB thats the cleanest stock engine bay i have ever seen.

 

heres a few pics of the vert. engine was removed and rebuilt so the bay got painted with the car. powdercoated the UIM etc. and new vac lines . painted the black plastic parts and removed the cold assist bottle . removing the stock fan and shroud and installing the efan opens up the front nicely . engine block looked a lot nicer out of the bay, can't really see much of it now .

 

it did win "BEST STOCK" one year at Rotorfest even with over 150k miles on the car.

Hopefully this year it wins in another catagory as its no longer going to be stock.

 

I kept the A/C (missing a line in these pics), P/S and fog lamps, everything else was ditched and the battery is behind the passenger seat under the spare tire cover.

 

^ amazing!

 

 

Here's a picture of under the hood on my 88 SE. I had the engine rebuilt with a street port, lightened components & lighter flywheel.

 

he said "CLEAN" engine bay.

not bad though.

 

Yeah, I know. Still a work in progress.

 

i just took my engine out, then its really clean lots of simple green! suuuuurree i have no engine but alas its clean!
