I want to make my 3.9 engine and engine bay to look like a classic. I am going to get an Edelbrock air cleaner and paint the engine Hemi orange. How do I rerout hoses and wires so that they are not in the way of the engine? It is also time to replace distributor cap, rotor, and wires. I want to get plug wires that look like this except black and probably Moroso.
I don't like the stock plugs that go onto the spark plugs so I want the angled ones like that. Can I upgrade to 8 millimeter wires? I also want to replace the stock coil with a cylinder type coil. Is that possibe and where can I get a cylinder type coil for a 3.9? What can I do to make the fuse block look better besides painting it? Does someone make covers for them?

 

Just so you know it wont be a good idea. Running the wires and hoses any other way that they are now will require you to splice into them to make them longer. All these splices could lead to big electrical problems in the future.

 

i understand the Color choice, but when i sampled the paint, Duplicolor Hemi Orange Engine Enamel, it looked very watery, and didnt cover well. i went with the Generic Gloss Red. as exampled below.

 

I won't do the wires but most of the hoses need replacing anyway because of dry rot. Thanks for the heads up on the paint but I'll get some anyway just to make sure it wasn't just that lot of paint.

 

good idea, but do a test run on some scrap steel. and i also advise getting the motor primer, i did mine 2 light primer, 3 light top coat.

 

Ok' thanks. I also want to remove the fan shroud and radiator cover and reinstall the shroud but I can't figure out how to remove them.

 

the plastic fan shroud? there are 10mm nuts athe the along the edge of the housing, i belive 6-8 in total. im not putting mine back on and going with remote tanks instead.

 

Thanks. where can I get a coil that looks like this or is it possible.

 

you can try JCWhitney.com, SummitRacing.com, and Jegs. but i would try your local Advance Auto Parts or Napa.
But sadly, i think your up a particular creek with out a paddle on that partucular request.

sorry bro.
