Snapped a few pics while I was putting new FMS wires and new plugs when I was troubleshooting my engine ideling problem. '
Thought I would share my dirty engine bay.:D
It's just dirty. Nothing a little elbow grease wouldn't fix. I've seen much worse. The engine bay of my old 95 T-bird was covered in oil to "prevent rust".
I'm amazed at the py job Ford did painting the engine bays on these cars. There is no paint under the cowl on the fire wall. It's not very noticeable on a silver or light colored car like mine but really stands out on a dark colored or black car.
I dont see any dirt:dunno:
Nice. Looks good to me. Do you have any plans on swapping any parts? Intake, valve covers, etc?
Oh yea. Ive got some E7 heads sitting here, HO upper and TB, speed Density and Mass air computers, 19 and 24 lb injectors, HO roller cam etc.....
If I want to get crazier.... Ive got my old Mustang engine. 90HO block with alum heads. Ive got a Exploder intake and have Tmoss port the lower for me. Its just sitting on an engine stand.
Its really not that dirty, just needs detailed.
So I guess you don't have heat? Don't you need that in Kansas? :)
I like your engine bay. It looks like you have mustang headers on the car. And you have a floor shifted car?
I hope you can get to all the mods you plan. Very nice.
My heater core went out. Havent gotten around to replacing it yet.
I drive my pickup in the cold, salty winters up here.
Swap the core and get it over with. takes about 2 hours if you REALLY take your time. Eric gave me a couple of tips quite some time back and it made the swap wicked easy.
Do you not have to remove the dash to swap the heatercore? Mine was bypassed when I got it, so Im going to assume its no good. I really need to get a bible for this thing.
You have to loosen but not remove it. It differs slightly from year to year. Check out coolcats.net tech section. Come back here for any questuons or clarifications.
If imma loosen it, Imma just take it all the way off and wrap it in tweed since its cracked to hell anyways. Cant a car company make these things more easily accessable? Sorry about the threadjack.
Hey!! I need the heater core question answered too! LOL
What exactly do you need to know?
If you call that engine bay dirty, you don't want to see mine :)
I'm no mechanic, I just learn as I go, but the heater core replacement really doesn't take too long to do using Eric's directions.
As a Nebraska native, I think it's funny that you call Kansas "up here". Ha.
Where in NE are you? I grew up about 6 miles from the NE state line.
