I'm looking for examples of super clean engine bays. My engine has to be dropped this week because of a destroyed clutch plate... But that is another story.
Anyway, I'm looking for some ideas to try to clean up my engine bay. Tighten up the wiring. Make it cleaner than ever!
Hoping to see some really clean engine bays to get my ideas flowing. |

| New tar boards will probably last as long as the originals ones did... |

Your daughters engine looks AMAZING...
No tar boards, I see... No mechanical fuel pump, I see... that cleans it up a bit. all the wiring is so hidden. How did you do that. |

Coil and msd are in the package tray, two fuel pumps under the tank with -6 lines front to back. And I also do custom wiring. Motor is a 2387 that made 210 hp on my dyno without nos,,,,,,,,,My daughter is 12,,,,,,
