I am either painting my car BLACK OR DARK GREEN.
And i am going to either choose. Gloss Black or chevy orange for engine color.My question:

Does anybody have pictures of a black or dark green elky with orange or black motor?

-Eric

My pics are orange engine & black engine bay.

How did you get your plastic and all your containers..wind shield washer..radiator overflow to look that good?

-Eric

Thanks, I cleaned them with a heavy duty cleaner we use at the base. I have some updated pics that look better that I will put up soon.

Tomarrow my first step to cleaning up everything is putting GUNK on everything mostly my frame support, then pressure washing everything,then i will sand the plastic down with like 300 grit sand paper and that makes it look real nice, then i'll use simple green to clean it up..that should work i think..
Since i have extra holes in my inner wheel moldings from screws, what can i do about these?

I've got a black '80 with a black motor. Will snap a couple pics to post later this morning! :D

go with the orange this way it looks the same when ya put the 383 in. tommy, nice manifolds I hate headers burnt wires and blown gaskets more H>P . :lol:

Johnsubr, I know what you mean. The main reason I have not not gone the headers is emmision testing. I have a single performance cat to a ypipe, then 2 1/4 pipes to turbos out the back. I am thinking of going to true duals & shorty headers, just not sure if the increased performance is worth the aggrevation. 8)

I have a black elky with a chevy orange 350 on page 8 of fifth gen pics in members cars, 83 choochoo.

Ok i think im going to go with orange.
Another question, I have 2 sets of wires, one bunch on pass, and one bunch on the drivers(all taken off by me), can i just rip all of the passenger side ones off of the ECU and everything that has to do with it??

and about wires, all i need is HEI,lights,horn,tach, right in the engine compartment?

-Eric

Yes you can take the wires off the ecu. but you better check your emission laws to see if your allowed to disconect the ecu. and you also have to get a different distributor and carb for the engine to run.
