i accually foud out that i can put the factory air cleaner back on mine. i just got done repainting every thing and accually found the proper air filter.

Will make the engine a little more likable to be driven in cold weather.

and thanks i thought it would look good with the aluminum timing cover and water pump. I also painted the dip stick tube aluminum and the handle black.

Like i said it just looks better to take your time and do something proper than just painting every single thing the same color imho
I don't really care about brands Chevy Ford Dodge ...as long as it doesn't sound like two old dudes farting in a coffee can.
