So it gave me ideas to start a build and clean up the engine bay alot.

I have a new stage 2 shortblock with a stage 2 head going in the car once i am done, with my wire tuck and repainting the engine bay.

Here are some pics of the build in progess

Powder coated valve cover myself. Color is a candy blue with 5 coats of clear.

Starting my wire tuck. First i removed all loom and old tape from the engine and fuse box harness, then ziptied the harness to keep it intact so i could pull it out of the car.

	Pictures worked on my iPhone. Looks good so far. I'll most likely be doing mine in the spring. Humor me tho, if I unplug my fuel solenoid, I get a code. Will I get a code if I remove the wires too?
