Still working on mine

I started restoring my 94 Z28, sitting in the garage for 5 years with a blown tranny. I moved all the wires off the intake manifold except for then new fuel injector harnesses I made. I ran most of the engine wires wrapped in thermal tape and high heat split loom next to the passenger strut tower. The 2- 4 gauge amp wires go across the front with the harness by the radiator and then along the drivers side frame rail. The vacuum lines are covered by the coils. I'm still finishing up, you can see 2 small ground wires I temporarily ran across the passenger shock tower to make sure the coils were getting a good ground when I tried to test start it up. The last pic is what it looked like when I started.













Before the mods

That's why you dilute it with water.

That is the best looking engine/bay I have ever seen in my life.

wayneg did you have to modify your edelbrock valve covers to get them to fit? i have alwas liked those but thought they would not fit due to lack of an alternator notch.

Edelbrock covers

Yeah they were cut and my friend sealed them up at his machine shop about 13 years ago. It's nice having a friend with a machine shop.
