Long tube install wasn't to bad. Their now in place and I'm working on putting everything back on and hooking it back up. It's being kind of a pain but it's slowly coming back together. I didn't label some of the stuff, hopefully it will fall into place. Pics will come tomorrow if I get around to it.

Current state:



Anyone have good diagrams of the engine bay that might assist me in getting it back together? I have some pics and stuff but I don't know if it will be enough.


Sorry for the crappy picture again, my blackjack 2's camera isn't as good as my SE's was. I need to start using our real digi cam if I can find the cable.

Valve covers and headers aren't at their shiniest, as they were handled and not cleaned off after. Here you go, current state. I spent all weekend polishing those valve covers. This weekend a lot should get done (hopefully). I need to find somewhere to buy the split tube cover stuff. I found it in 3 sizes, but I still need like 2 other sizes.

What color are you painting it, I'm guessing White again since your not planning on doing the engine bay because if you were you would wait to put all of those stuff on there.
