well about two months ago the old tired ld9 decided it didnt like boost anymore and did this...






so there was only one thing i could to help my ld9....




and it just continued from there....

thanks to MILLER PERFORMANCE for this beauty...


Cylinder head all cleaned up and new valve stems..



may as well get rid of the old oil pump for this nice upgrade..




all ready to go in..



and finally all buttoned up and broke in, just looking to get it tuned shortly..





and a couple interior shots.. dont mind the crappy bezel that will get redone..

the engine turned out really nice but the engine bay is just killing the whole look.

i totally agree. I didnt have any time to really clean up the whole engine bay as i had about 5 days to swap the cams over and get everything in and running properly. I had my old manifold crack on me and the exhaust covered the majority of the engine bay and i tried to get a quick cleaning in. hopefully after i graduate in december i will be able to pull everything out and get the engine bay how i would like it

I wondered how it would fit with the ho manifold, thanks Do you know if the sc brake booster hardline clears with the ho manifold?
