Personally, the bottom front of the head detracts from the SC more than the engine cover -almost. I know it'* gonna be somewhat hidden with mani'* or headers, but how about a quick spray down with some degreaser or something, and a coat of engine paint?

in due time, my son

Travis, I saw that.. Deleting posts... shame on you!

Yes it is his engine..

<Looks over at the 01 B'ville EM'* laying on garage floor> Hmmm interesting thought there. Haro probably wouldn't do that though.

Andrew..I cleaned and painted 3 engines. Get the 1200 degree stuff and get that done before you torque that cover on.

only reason i am not throwing some stock EM'* on are that i am missing the stock cat which the stock DP would bolt up to, so custom exhaust work would have to be done, and that seems pointless

hey if you hate it so much ill take it off your hands for you lol
