4 10mm screws and you can see for yourself
Personally, it looks ugly with it off

Damn from some angles it looks great and mean and from others it look like a cluttered mess like its out of some bad 80's anime!
I like this angle!

that thread is very good--but the OP wants to leave the cover off and do something to make it look better in the naked-errrr buff condition
Its a simple matter to use any brand of metal polish and a buffer on the drill or even by hand. Shine the outer covers up for a unique look, and slightly improve manifold cooling (less rise in inlet ait temp) by allowing more upward dissapation of heat
Then do the exhaust tips to match! they shine up really nice

I personally like the dressed up plastic cover... engine doesn't look right without the cover... but that is just my opinion... If someone will polish it, then I guess it would look pretty cool. but way too much work....

I like show quality dressed engines, its a racing thing- clean painted= well built well kept
Got to finish my project and post pics, instead of just talking about doing it

But it is the same engine. My engine will be quite similar, different colors and build.

If you really want to do a build-up & 6-speed swap, Save the $ and we can start doing work.
Let me know when you're ready. Any info you need, just ask and I'll help you out.
P.S. you may have to make occasional drives upstate to the NOVA area.
