They're UPR polished aluminum covers.I was looking at a lot of different covers,and wanted something a little different.I had the factory kind,Ford racing,and Cobra covers.I wanted to simplify the overall look,and,with the Cobra badge on the intake,I thought that Cobra covers was overkill.It's like those guys with the Chevys,and they have to have Bow Ties and the word "Chevrolet" everywhere.I don't need to have everything set up like a billboard.As I stated.....simple yet effective.

Purple wires, nice touch Vinn.

What color is the upper intake gonna be?  Are you using your old polished Exploorer?

Thanks again for the compliments. As far as a turbo...no.If anything,I may supercharge it one day......a long time from now.The wires will be (they're in the box on top of the covered engine),blue Taylor wires with 90 degree plug boots. One of my friends brought the engine hoist over yesterday evening and dropped it off for the Monday excitement...maybe.Rain is in the forecast....of course.Hopefully not.If the weather looks nice enough,I'll start pulling things apart Sunday evening to get a head start.

Yes,the polished explorer upper intake is going back on. I like it.Even though there are better intakes out there,this one is my favorite.It does need to be re-polished (very dirty right now),that's easy and I can tend to that any time after the engine is installed.Right now,I need to get the big work done.Detailing will happen when it happens,like next weekend when I'm off,I'll spend one day polishing,a little painting,etc.
