Wow, Not bad, not you need to take the TBI off and get some carb/brake cleaner and a old tooth brush and clean it.. it will look so much nicer..

So are you gonna paint the manifold(intake) also? like a black or something? that makes a engine look shabby, the aluminum and black...

yeah i just primed it like last week... you would see lots of pics of my car in the 3rd gen section but i guess most 4th geners dont look there . lol

yeah im gonna paint the manifold and block like a jet black or something possibly. the intake for sure. if i get a cherry picker then the block also and the headers again b/c they are starting to get rusty again.
i was going to wait to get engine pics until i did the wire mod and cleaned it up a little better but its what you all wanted lol.

anybody know what i have to do to get rid of the smog pump? i really want that **** outta my engine. lol. i was looking at it today and it looks like its one piece with the accessory bracket along with the a/c which i want to keep just for value.

thanks brian

So that's what a TBI looks like under the air cleaner. Your detailing looks good, I basically did the same thing with mine when I had it all apart, except I changed the chevy orange and chrome to black.
