dom thats sounds awsome . i am sorry for the loss of your blue baby, but in the end,at least to me you ended up trading up, getting to put on the ported heads ,detailing things out just perfect and ending up with the best color zr1 of all . enjoy that fine ride and can hardly wait to see what she does hp wise with your new set up /

Photoshop guru =Jeff= can whip something together to indicate what it would look like.

I've seen motors that have color 1, color 2, color one set ups and they just don't turn me on, that being said some one color set ups don't turn me on either. I really really like the crinkle coated red, if it was my car i'd do the entire engine crinkle coated red, and the letters/numbers black with silver hardware and if i could find them black wires. I'm sure your engine will turn out to be a really good looking piece, what makes the automotive world great, we all like diggerent things

Dom you need one of those LT4 Billet Oil filler caps that Cliff, Phil and I are running. Very cheap on Ebay and look great. They come in Gun metal and Chrome billet with the mobil one insert. Just an Idea. Would offset the stainless hardware nicely you have to ask for the mobil one insert. Props to Cliff he found these.
