It’s too bad there is so much junk on top of these TBI motors after they’re installed. The never look good in pics. Haha.
They are a good workhorse motor and will last well past the 200k mark, but they're not particularly appetizing to look at, haha. I have an open element air cleaner with a filter top from k&n and it lets you see a little bit more of the engine. I like how you went with natural or silver on the intake, because I believe it's aluminum correct? BTW, you can feel a seat of the pants difference with a k&n element, and even more with an open air cleaner, especially with the lid. It also really howls under heavy throttle which can be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how much you like your truck to express its feelings, haha.
