Needs a cleaning (and some more daylight), but it sounds quite nice now. :D

Nothing extremely special -- just my newly rebuilt 2L with 10.2-to-1 compression pistons, bored .8mm over, stock bottom end, reconditioned head with SS valves, new guides, stock cams.
3000 miles on the rebuild and running really sweet so far. Gobs of torque.

Here is my newly spiffed up engine bay. I scoured the Internet to see what other paint schemes were used on FI engines. I didn't find any yellow, but, I kind of liked the bright yellow. What do you guy/gals think?

backyardbill, I like the yellow. I think yellow plug wires would look good with this scheme too.
I like Italian food and Italian convertibles :)

@backyardbill: I think it is all good, when color is added to the engine bay. Looks great!
