My 1971 k5 engine bay build

Hello
I am currently in the process of restoring the engine compartment on my k5. I use this primarily for 4 wheeling but also as a cruiser. It is mostly stock including an SM465 and NP205. I have added a 4 inch Alcan all spring lift, stock steelies which I had powdercoated. Tires are 34x9.5 Interco super swampers. ARB air locker in rear 12 bolt with 4.56 gears, front Dana 44 with 4.56 gears and auburn limited slip.
The engine is/was an all stock 4 bolt 350.
I stroked this to 383, added aluminum heads and intake as well as HEI. My plan is to maintain a totally stock appearing engine compartment. I have had most parts powdercoated: intake, valve covers, oil pan, air cleaner, fenderwells, core support/brackets. A ton of small stuff was clear zinc plated and black oxide finished.
I just wanted to post some pictures of my progress!
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated!
