Corey was nice, yall!
Drakhan, you did do a good job there. Nice color scheme. Now paint the block and heads. Very clean bay.

THX  And you guys can call me Patrick I was going to paint the cover. Gonna take off the K&N sticker, first, then reapply after I'm done. I'm still thinking about how I want it to look. Block and heads? sry I'm still a bit green when it comes to finding my way around the engine bay...

ah. block is what the cam, crank, pistons, cylinder, oil, and pretty much everything else is in or on. heads are mounted on top of that. on top of the heads are the valve covers.

How many miles is on that thing? The engine looks brand new, no deposits or corrosion on any of the exposed metal (alternator, engine mounts).
Junk that battery first chance you get, and seal your passenger headlight. Then you'll be golden.

THX again! It has 78k going on 79k right now and it's a 2003 model GT. I try to take care of it as best I can. The battery is brand spanking new. Or were you saying that because of the brand? I know, I know. That actually happened after a little fender bender. So far all I've replaced is the front bumper. The whole headlamp assembly on the passenger side is bent up (I tried to fix it...it's ok now, relatively speaking) and there's still a few dents in my hood and the latch, I think, is a little crooked but it closes just fine.

you would have to remove it from the car... the block is the starting point of the engine... i think he was being sarcastic about both block and heads... you could do heads though...

I like those brackets, sort of like mine, but with the colors flipped!
Looks like you are pretty good with tape, too.
Looks fantastic!
