Re: engine compartment the good the bad and the ugly
Yesterday I painted the engine compartment rustoleum gloss black. Sometime this week I will clean up all the wiring and install the new-to-me motor/tranny in there.

Thanks for the kind words, fellas. It took me a while to find the right pieces to get the look I was after.

Re: engine compartment the good the bad and the ugly
Haha good call. Yes it runs. It runs so well that I am putting an engine swap on hold because I can't justify taking it out. Very high SPM on that thing.
