As some of you may know, my engine went BOOM and is being replaced next week. I'd love to see some engine compartment shots, especially from Trilogy cars, so i can get some ideas.

I'm leaving the blower the stock silvery-grey it came, but I need to pick a colour for the valve covers, timing cover, coil covers and other stuff before they go to powdercoating. Since chrome merely holds in heat, I'm not interested in "Dom-in-izing" it ;)

Just looking for colours and anything else that may be of note.

Post away!!

I'm partial to my red cam covers.

A simple pic of my whipple & blk valve covers rather then the blue the Alluminator came with. I had a silver JLT however it would not fit with the Whipple in the process of making a carbon fiber air tube.

It's not a Trilogy. But it's an engine picture thread. And I have a picture with an engine on it. :)

Spend a couple hours at a decent Ford parts department and you should be able to replace them all. That or drop them all in a bucket of rust dissolver then chemtool and then take a wire brush to each one...
