Engine Bay Completion...Pictures!!!!

Ok guys well I got her on the road today. Ran absolutly perfect. Only thing is we started leaking brake fluid at the master cylinder. Well the gasket was misalingned. I drove her around and no leaks no more backfiring just ran awesome. Thanks for all your help. It looks so much better and runs so much better than before.

Thanks everyone My friend Dave and I did it at his house. We took it apart and cleaned it all pretty much. There is room for improvement.

Thanks again to everyone

Looks super nice, great job.

I hate it when the MC leaks cuz of the gasket, had mine do that, messed up my bowtie valve covers paint, brake booster, steering shaft and my drivers side inner fender

I myself hate flex fans, saw one come apart, made a huge mess of a corvette engine bay and hood

You need to get rid of that FLex fan....they are known for not being great and occasionally coming apart.

The flex fan will be coming off this week as soon as I get to the junk yard and get a stock clutch fan and shroud. It has cut me so many times I count count any more.
