Engine pics after LT's and OTVC.
I started my header install about a month ago...had to end up doing several other things as a result. Finally got everything done now though. I have Jet-Hot LT's, and off road Y, and Taylor OTVC wires. Those are the new additions for now. Here's some pics.
Yes, they're used headers so they don't look as shiny as they once did. I don't care though, they still perform just the same. One thing I read about was people having issued with oil seeping up from under the looms. I put some high temp RTV on the undersides of them to prevent that from happening to me. Seems to do the trick, although I have to reseal one. The others are oil free even after a few runs. That one's seeping a little bit though.
The orange wire looms around the engine bay will be going away soon. They were OK until all the red from the wires came in and added to the STB. I'm also going to paint the fins on the intake red. They're currently orange also. The orange just looks out of place now.

It is definetly a good start. Get rid of all the orange like you said and it will look even better. I've been reading alot lately about OVC wires. I might just have to think about picking some up for myself. Hmm....

Thanks for the compliments everybody. I didn't find cutting and crimping them to be all that difficult actually. It was a lot easier to do that than it was to change the oil pan gasket.
