That's why they put covers over most modern engines... so people don't get scared from all the wires and hoses.

Well....to keep things 100% "even stevens" we should compare the 928 engine bay to the 2nd generation ZR1:




That is one sexy motor, I don't care if it's wrapped in a Chevy. If I ever did a domestic conversion with a 928, this is the motor I would use.

+1 Greg. I like a clean implementation.

I agree that zr1 was such a beautiful engine.

If our distributors and wires were better arranged it would look a lot neater. It really doesnt look sharp, precise, or precision built but thrown together....I still love it though

Maybe Chevy should have asked Porsche to design them a V8 instead of Lotus.
