Am trying to get more and more ideas on how I want my engine to look. Want to go for some chrome, black, and some color, probably blue.

So I was curious if many of you could post pics of your engine bays?

Would much appreciate it! Thanks!

here's mine but it's an orange block !!:)

Ok, I have a stupid question.

How in the hell do you see around the blower? I have a three inch cowl hood, and there is no way I could see the right side of the car over the hood of a six inch cowl or blower.

That's a bad ass engine, though.

Actually it's closer to 11 inches, I have a 4" cowl on it. It will never be an everyday driver, just a weekend toy. Hoping the locals don't hassle me too much, but I expect I will get the occasion obstruction citation if I run across one in the right mood. I'll even support the local police retirement fund if that's what it takes.

All great lookin' engines indeed!
That's an awsome set-up you have there Carm! Top-end should be outragous!:cool:

Hey Orange71 beautiful set-up. Very neat looking. I was wondering, did you work the cowl section where it meets the firewall? It looks very smooth. I just did my 79 because I didn't like the cracked sealer look. Its in primer now but coming out nice. I hope to paint it (cowl section) this weekend. ZF.:) :D

alota beautiful engines posted u did better than i did when i asked to see some engines

Hey turbo t/a where did you get your headers??

Headers were made by a friend of mine.....no such thing as TT headers for a 2ng Gen Camaro & certainly not ones that fit around the wheel-wells.

http://brian-callahan.com/Brians%20stuff/Camaro-pix/engine/496-w-heads-and-valvecovers-inside.jpg
We chose to paint the fenderwells and the engine compartment a color and a flatness that made them disappear and let the engine stand out. Other guys do the opposite to make a "cleaner" look instead. Think about which you prefer.

Engine color is Matador Red, the same as the body. Valve covers are crinkle black powdercoat. The centers of the wheels on the car have the same powdercoat as the valve covers. We went with a red-black-silver theme in the engine compartment to compliment the rest of the car.

ok so mine isnt as awesome as these other guys on here but im a 17 year old junior in highschool, i dont need a supercharger and dont have the money to be buying chrome/aluminum everything. Its still pushing a good 350 hp and is a nice simple setup

heres my engine, I just took this pic and the flash makes my engine look 10 times worse than it actually looks, it need to be painted but i think once i throw on my eddy carb and a 4barrel intake it should look a lot better. i'll try to take a better picture tomorrow.

im in the same situation as Miller52, i just turn 16 last week and im a sophmore in high school and i have almost no money to spend on my car, im just finishing my header installation and true dual exhaust which should be done by monday :bowtie: and that took all my money for now... i need a job this summer...

Which Master cylinder is that?

bandit racer,, you can find those master cylinder/brake boosters in 78-81 cutlass's, regal' s,malibu's, etc.... i think the line fittings are metric,, so you'll have to re-flare the tubing with metric ends,, or adapt them if so. hope it helps.

Hey Hulk, yeah i drove it and I've almost toasted 4th gear.. lol eh, out with the 700r4 and in with a th400..

I dont think the neighbors were too happy and I did a real nice burnout in front of the in-laws house..:smokin:

Nice setups guys!

Makes me debate what color combo of engine and engine bay when I get Barry (my 1979 Camaro.. yes... he's a HE) painted bright blue.

I was thinking getting the 406 block painted black and painting the bay Bright Blue like the body. Any suggestions?

My suggestion: Consider powder coating the block. Color is your personal choice, but consider powder coating the block.

It would be really nice to be able to blast away at it with a high pressure hose without the fear of big flakes of paint coming off. I wish I had thought of it before I had my block filled with hard blok. It was too late before the idea occurred to me.

Took her to the track once with about 1000 miles on her and got in 2 runs before I was booted off.

10.97 @ 126

Dropped the tire pressure down to 18lbs that's it. I'm sure if I could have done some tuning that day I could have pulled a mid 10.

All motor, pump gas, full nterior, A/C.

That's great Scott. Was that with the TKO? I am having a heck of a time with traction on my set up, that is why I asked. You seemedto do OK, but I wish I had an automatic at the track.

What was your 60 foot? what are you running for rear gears and what tires did you run at the track. what is your car weight with you in it?

mike

My dailhttp://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/galvanniR/outlaw.jpgy driver.........................................j/k


i know that motor ,that's a 410sbc !!! :) .those 4 extra injector nozzles and lines going into the cylinder head gave it away

What was your 60 foot? what are you running for rear gears and what tires did you run at the track. what is your car weight with you in it?

I have:

TKO-600 with a 3.42 Eaton posi
adjustable rear shocks
QA1 adjustable front coil overs
MT ET Street Radials
welded sub frame connectors
SSM lift bars
3600lbs with me in it

Practicing on a back street on launches I found it better not to pop the clutch. I only bring it to 3000rpm and quickly/gradually release the clutch. Although sometimes I get a little too happy with 2nd and 3rd and she'll spin - but I'm working on my control.
