Default L78 Project Pics

Here's some before and after pics of the engine compartment in my L78 Camaro, which I'm detailing for my latest project.

My goal is to have a nice looking original engine while minimizing downtime -- this is a 'driver' after all.

I had to find a carb (thanks Eric), smog system (thanks Jerry), and NOS block heater (thanks mr70). Lots and lots of other little details that I wouldn't even know about without reference pics from members here (thanks jeff and paul).

(Let me know if something grossly wrong jumps out at you)

You might want to get a correct upper radiator hose.
Outstanding job! You can detail my car anytime.

A pair of original looking horns would be nice. Earl
