    I've always loved a nice clean and black engine compartment. Makes that small block jump out at you. It looks very nice, great job!

    Great job! You are going to connect the cooler lines to a cooler, right?
    That pretty C4 won't last long with the cooler lines looped together like that.

    That looks great. I think the black really makes the block stand out.
