Engine is out and everything is getting pressure washed by my friend Todd. it was coming out for everything getting fully built, but i miss driving a boosted car so its in the process of being put back together. after the wedding the engine will come back out for its new parts and the tranny will get an LSD.

i dont know why Todd likes pressure washing my car so much, but who am i to stop him. lol

here is the engine back in the car. i was so nervous about this part. the last thing i needed was a scratch

i really like the openess of it. there is so much room and it is so uncluttered. hopefully it looks like that when its running too. i am trying to hide as much as possible

want my honest opinion? great work on the engine bay. Shitty work on getting that engine clean. Shoulda painted the engine while it was out? -or maybe by chance you have another motor waiting to go in? And have that manifold coated so it looks a little better also

Somehow this thing actually looks even better in person. I was scared to death to scratch something puting the motor back in. That oil feed hard like looks sweet.
