Taking a look at the engine bay, it was clear it could use some general cleaning and painting and sorting, which didn't bother me. (I enjoy detailing anyway.) I also replaced some various pieces such as the starter solenoid, regulator, windshield pump, and some hoses and hardware. I also removed some old stereo wiring for a stereo that wasn't there anymore. (The stock stereo was still there and worked when I hooked it up.)
Here's the (semi-) finished product. I'd do a few more bits in the next couple months (i.e., nickel plated header bolts, all engine wiring) before sending the car out to be painted. Funny that this photo was taken about 18 days after I received the car.... LOL, I was busy!
The engine already had Edelbrock aluminum heads and Air Gap intake with a Crower cam and roller rockers. Also an Edelbrock water pump, MSD ignition, Holley 4-barrel 670cfm carb, and JBA mid-length headers. And it's a 331 stroker with forged internals instead of the previous 289... I'll get it dynoed in 2008.
