Well
FINALLY all the parts are in, and I've been able to complete my engine dress up project.
Here is how my engine bay looked
BEFORE the transformation. Note the generic ball-milled air cleaner with crummy paper element, natural-finish aluminum Cobra valve covers, and plain expansion tank from Finish Line Accessories. Not a bad look, but not too exciting either.
And here's how my engine bay looks
AFTER the transformation. Note the black crackle-finish Cobra air cleaner and pentroof valve covers from Ford Racing, the new K&N filter element, billet air cleaner nut, the original-style expansion tank from Superformance, and the new plug wires and distributor cap/rotor. You can't see it from this side, but I've also replaced the crappy black breather cap with a nice chrome "Ford Cobra" breather. I like it!
What do you guys think of the new look?
