I don't have great pictures. Best I can do is camera phone pics, from when I put the new heads on. I have cleaned it up more since then, I switched to v-belts with low mounted accessories (only PS and alternator), so that cleaned it up even more.

This was my 350, two years ago.
This is my new 350 now. I have been needing to clean the wiring up for sometime now. Really just haven't had the time. I will clean the wiring up when I switch to my Ported L30 Vortecs soon. I want to see how much difference there is between ported Vortec 305 heads and ported TPI 305 heads. The flowbench says 25 cfm on the intake side. In reality the Vortec heads have the higher swirl type chambers which should further help with power production.

Ya'll have some nice looking engines. I have thought of doing some mods to mine, but I show the car as stock. All I have done is add a K&N filter inside the stock housing and a chrome breather top. Still looks like factory.

The Wires are the Accell 300+ Race wires that you cut to length and put the end connections on. Very nice wires when properly run and the ends properly terminated. Very low resistance. No RFI to speak of. The boots withstand header heat much better as well.
This is what my engine looked like before the MAF swap on it.
