First Off is the Engine bay without the Motor.
If you spot anything that does not jive, let me know. The Brake booster has never been off the car so it stays as a survivor part with it's faded silver color (i know it should be Gold Cad plated). The Windshield Washer Motor also seems to be a survivor so i will also leave that alone. Wires just needed a good clean up and there were no splits or rewired pieces to be found (only had to ad a new wiring connection for the -Negative wire for the Tach Brown wire that goes to the coil as the other Connection plug was hooked up for the former HEI ignition system. Original Brake lines were polished with a wire brush and then sprayed with Krown T40 protection.

Here is the LS6 Smog with Exhaust manifolds Restored and ready to go.
Some numbers i can't figure out? Also let me know if these are all correct smog parts for the LS6 (Pretty sure they are but i just want to confirm). All the smog hoses and clamps are the originals. The picture of the Exhauast shows i grinded off the flap, Drilled a small hole and added a cotter pin to keep the side of the bar from sliding, I figured why bother having the heat riser with the flap if the car never gets used on cold days! The Exhaust heat riser will still operate but with no Flap in the damn way (free flow all the time).

Exhaust Manifolds Bead blasted and VHT baked on the BBQ.
Came out fantastic,you can not scratch this stuff off as it baked right into the pours of the metal. Both manifolds are dated the same. Bottom picture was taken before the manifold was blasted and painted,so you can see they were not in bad shape at all.
