    Wire Hide Mod
    Red Wire Loom (one of those mods that looks better in theory than the finished product, might go back to stock black)

    think the red looks good?

    That PS fluid resivoir sticks out like a sore thumb now...

    I like the red. Breaks up the bay more.

      it looks good in some areas IMO the fuel lines I like red but I might take off some of the red loom thats on the actual engine

      And the Wire Mod is great, highly recommend, very easy and alot less complicated than I thought

        IMO, go back to black loom. Everything else looks good. The wires and/or their loom IMO is ugly and should be hidden as best as possible, not be brought to your attention

          I might try and redo some of it...keeping some of it red for the wires that are near the red fenderwells.

          was thinking about some engine covers off a LT1 vette if those would work for fbodies

            Looks fine to me. Just need to put in some elbow grease and metal polish.

              I use to hate the colored wire looms, but I don't mind it as much as I use to. The wire mod is a must in our cars. The only problem is that you want to hide all the wires once you start it. Our cars have the worst wire layout in my opinion.

                That is very true.

                As soon as I finished the basic wire mod I wanted to re-route half the engine bay. Maybe someday once more important stuff is done...and yep polishing up the alternator and TB is on my list

                            I believe there is a write up over on LS1tech.

                            but here's a brief explanation:

                            *Remove the front pass. wheel, and inner fenderwell plastic cover
                            *drill a hole in the back fenderwell leading into the engine bay
                            *Unplug all the wires that run along near the fender on the far left side of engine bay and disconnect them from the plastic holds.
                            *Unbolt the grounds
                            *Feed them thru the opening in the fender/fenderwell located near the coolant resivoir, strap them to the "ceiling" of the inner-fenderwell, and then feed them thru the hole you drilled
                            *Re-attach the grounds, sanding down a spot in the inner fenderwell so they'll get good contact.

                              looks nice - you need to shine up some of that black though
