Default Another win for the ZT-T 400

Got chosen as the best/cleanest engine bay at a local show in Bucke

Well done on a very well deserved win . I love seeing a well detailed engine bay, and the V8 is harder than most to sort properly, with no engine cover to hide all the nooks, crannies and associated wires and pipework.

Top stuff.

About time you got some shiney valve covers Les, ive fitted them to two out of my three V8's I have owned and they transform the engine bay a treat.

I like the black ones Andy but I am thinking about highlighting the ribbing with red

Very nice Les .

I think I'm with you re the valve covers. Ordinarily I'd say go for the polished ones - I've polished up most of the metalwork in my engine bay and love it. Thing is though, your V8 bay has a "factory fresh" look about it which in my view is actually harder to achieve and maintain.

Simply beautiful, and the plate on the supercharger is a lovely touch .
