bonvo Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 that motor would look right at home in my engine bay fisch Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 LOL thanks guys! I think at a minimum I am going to slap that valve cover on my LZ22 510. The L18 might sit for a long time cause now that I sold the truck it is basically a back up engine incase something happens to the LZ. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Looks nice! Also seems like your hood could use some adjustment... its popped up in the rear a bit. I thought that was on purpose? Lots of people seems to be rear gaping their hood for cooling or w/e. The fender/door on the other hand... Fisch I've always loved that cover. I actually want my wife to do something similar for the z. Like this one too I think hes a member here 2 Quote Link to comment

I was pretty sure that was some mythbusted old wives tales... none of the evidence has pointed to it working, but you are right... there are a lot of people that do it still. Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 thats the eventual plan since my hood is fucked anyway Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Ya I remember that myth busters, think your right it was busted. I think if they tested it with some different cars, like an s30 for ex they would get some different results. It seems to be more for looks with most people. My friend did it on his s13 to help hide uneven body lines in the front. Which I guess it did to some extent. Quote Link to comment
