See: "turbo swap in final stages" for polishable items...also 140's car has the valve cover done.

Everything is aluminum under the hood (minus head and block)

Aluminum = Polishable with some work.

I was bored this afternoon so I actually made a list of stuff under the hood that could be cleaned up appearance wise. Here it is incase you are interested, maybe it'll give you an idea or something that you may have missed yourself.

- Upper and lower intake polished and powdercoated
- Alternator polished
- Air box and intake tubing waxed (to blacken it up more and give it a clean look)
- Battery terminals replaced (easily replaceable)
- Valve cover painted
- Timing belt cover painted
- Rad overflow container cleaned (I figure I'll just use Armor All car wash wipes or something of that nature)
- When I get a new header put on I'll probably polish it someway somehow
- Fan housing cleaned
- Underside of hood wiped down

Maybe this will give you some ideas, or maybe it'll help somebody sometime. Anybody else have anything to add to the list?

If your Daddy ran a Chroming shop your engine could look like that too!
I'm going to polish out everything too, for one of my summer projects!
