Actually the bay was repainted it is just really really dusty in the pics. I had a valve cover powdercoated gloss black but the stupid place that did it bead blasted the valve cover and didnt seal it off and i was not about to risk putting it on being the sr valve cover has soo many baffles its basicly impossible to get out all the sand and bead. No thank you.

The valve cover was painted but crappy. The block and everything else is very very spotless and doesnt leak at all. Ill take some better pics later when i give the bay a full detail. I shouldnt have painted it black cuz its soo hard to keep clean. White was soo much better, haha

But i eventually want to paint the body midnight blue so i went with black in the bay.

Again more things to come but im more about performance than looks, so i could care less.

Oh and the comment about the cooling system, Its realistically a bigger capacity radiator than the stock one. The radiator is almost 3" thick with a 1250 cfm flexalite fan. Mezier electric pump with no t-stat. Even in the 120 deg summer days this motor runs very very cool and has not even come close even after punching it several times to 120 mph in a row it has yet to get anywhere near hot. I have yet to see temps over 185 deg.
