I got the engine in now. looks amazing only one thing stopping me now and thats waiting for the thermostat housing to turn up. heres my latest pics. i decided that the cam cover and anti roll bars should be orange and they look so good.

Should have cleaned the engine bay up while the engine was out I think.
