Here's my baby...





Not 100% buttoned up yet, but I'm very happy with how it looks (and more importantly, how it runs!).  About as clean as I plan to keep it while it maintains DD duties.  I've had a few comments from people saying it's the cleanest foxbody engine bay they've seen haha.

This is my 88 TC I take to car shows.
Before, people would walk by and say, "It's only a 4 cyl"
Now, I get people to stop and see the shine.

Not much to see with my "Installed" engine, Considering it's been sitting with the whole upper apart waiting for attention + It's a V6. ;)

I'll throw up a pic of the (Future Planned) '92 Bronco 351w from a year ago after I stored it on the stand in a bit, But again~Not much to see there either.

*Edit~Piccy:


Lost of plans for this 90k mile well running beast, Mostly just the block and internals will be re-used (Pending Funds).
Was a welcomed trade for a POS dodge caravan that was stuck in our narrow downhill driveway + A necessary upgrade to the T-Birds V6. ;P

During the 5.0 HO swap...




I have since removed the aftermarket air filter and went back to the stock air box.  I also re-installed the distributor "sock".



I have cleaned it up some since the pics but its still dirty yet functional.
