Engine bay clean up

[StangGuy94]

Hello All,


With spring coming in I figured it was time to get out there and start cleaning up the engine bay. But what Ive come to realize is that I dont get that "oooh ahhh" reaction when I open the hood for people. I want to perty it up by using braided hoses and colored fittings....but I wouldnt even begin to know what can be replaced with braided line, what size and what length of hose, etc. Thanks in advance for the help...

Hey man. First thing is to try to get rid of as much oil and grime as you can. After that you can remove your upper intake prime it and paint it. You can do the same to your alternator and valve covers. As for hoses, properly done AN braided hoses are the way to go, but it can get expensive if you are willing to do that I can help you choose what you need to make it happen or you can go with a dress up kit that slides over the stock rubber hoses

As for intake you can also try to find a used, polished version of the Typhoon intake and get a little more power while nice-ifying the engine bay!! Used versions of that intake (which is a knock-off of the Edelbrock performer intake) can be had very, very cheap!!! I actually sold mine for like $175 last year!

Totally got frustrated last night. Saw a breather cap that says Edelbrock on it. Unfortunately the one I am seeing doesn't fit. Had to go with a more plain chrome looking one. Urgh!!! I want the one that reads Edelbrock.

Good luck finding what you are looking for to liven things up.

Neenee. Bring that car to my house. I am running out of things to do. My buddies supercharger and cams will be done soon and the motor swap on another member is soon, then cams on some yellow car. Keep me busy. Only $10000 an hr
