I like the way mine was (at one time) black intake, black valve covers, with polished plenum and runners. make the tpi look like it was floating.

runners would be a pain in the ass to polish,

I glass beaded them for a natual look, they were black, but i didn't like how it looked with the polished plenum so I painted them black again,

I was thinking about painting the intake black

just paint your whole fucking motor black

rails and all

and black out your whole car, dark tint and black rims, smoke the lights out

it would look awesome, you know you want to

all blacked out would look better with the black valve covers, I got it mocked up,

still need to clean/paint/polish the plenum and TB but as it is, it needs aluminum valve covers

I go to polish the fuel rail, clean and paint the accessory brackets, and do a few other things, but the engine should be ready to put in the car on Monday, probably drop it in tuesday, then I can put the front 1LE spindles and brakes on and the rest of the front suspension,

then its all wiring and interior which will take a few days hopefully do by next weekend

should be, hopefully,
wanted to work on it this weekend,
ended up pulling a head on a semi truck under a tarp, good times,

I'll throw a day plate on it for sure, and head for the meet, might not be 100%

so busy lately I haven't had time for call of duty
