^^^ Nice and clean, nothing wrong with it for sure.

But.

Some day, someone'll say "yo, remember that whacked-out car with the bright-a$$ green engine bay??" And they'll be like "You mean DrGrEeNtHuMb's car? How the f*ck could I not remember that??"

Won't happen with a silver engine bay with moogen bits.

Carry on.

Its not that hard for me to paint my bay some ugly *** color

I can care less if anyone remembers my car, i built it for myself and my own personal use. He posted pictures on the internet so i can post my opinion

No, the b20z has been sitting in a friends car for about a year and the people who swapped it, did it in a hurry. Like using quarters with holes drilled in them as washers for example. So I'm simply putting my old parts that I can trust(itr oil pump, a couple new sensors, thermostat, new gaskets) onto the b20

My main focus is to get the car running. First setup will be 94 ls head stock,80 mm throttle body, b20z bottem end with a CAI/H/E, then comes the ITR port matched b16 head with itr cams blox 5 bolt cam gears, garret ar60 turbo kit, rc550 injectors, resistor box, walboro fuel pump, fuel rail and fpr, some msd ****. I'm not doing internals or anything, that will be for another motor later.
