Re: Lets see the engine pics!!
Underside of hood. It was black from the factory. I debated whether to leave it black, but decided on body color. Just my opinion, the underside being body color looks much better.

Re: Lets see the engine pics!!
How about an ugly (but original) little 283? This is after install of the HEI and a cleanup/repaint on the valve covers when I put new gaskets on them. I have scrubbed the firewall down some since this photo was taken and converted the old oil bath breather to paper element as well.

Re: Lets see the engine pics!!
Here's an L31 Vortec engine I'm rebuilding. Pulled it from a 97 Tahoe at Pick-n-Pull with 130k miles. Aiming for 9.7:1 static compression and .040" quench. Going with an XR276HR roller cam and beehive valve springs with thread-in rocker studs. The head gaskets are back-ordered until late January, so it's just sitting there in my garage waiting patiently.

Re: Lets see the engine pics!!
Here’s mine.
It ain’t as sexy and shiny as some, but I rebuilt it myself, and it runs like a top. Sorry for the sideways pic |

Re: Lets see the engine pics!!
Here is pic of mine from 2 weeks ago. Installed but not quite ready to be fired up yet. Should be all together for the nice weather starting in about a month or so.
