Engine pics

[treed]

Does anyone have a couple of engine pics they could post of front area of the engine compartment for a stock 1997 GTS.

Thanks,

Hey Charles, I thought a week ago you couldn't get out of the Viper? now you can't get out of the computer chair?

the older i get, the less i move. i sound like an old 7-sandwich eatin' fat bastard but i am only 31 and a 170 lbs. dude, you have same car as me and you have posted 0 pics. now who's fat & lazy? lol.

had to get up anyway to get a drink... here's some pics, if this is not what you needed, lemme know..

and for those that didn't believe, here's my cupholder, not screwed in, only velcro. good for another 150 hp as it allows me to have both hands on the wheel...

and, new car scent to get rid of smoke smell...

Charles - Thank you very much! The second picture down is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I bought my car this past winter, and haven't really had time yet to REALLY take a good look at the car, and I was poking around it last night and noticed something missing on the cross member/brace that runs between the radiator and the engine. I can see a couple of holes, and a spot where something "square" used to be. I wasn't sure if it was a mounting point for parts to a previous NOS system, or something else that was "missing". From looking at your photos, I can see there is a small bracket missing, with the big round nob... Interesting. Looks like it's used to stabilize the airboxes.

Thanks again!

Are you talking about the silver that runs behind the air boxes? That is a reinforcement bar that does more than "stabilize the air boxes" Call Doug Levin if you need one. He puts a custom one on when he puts a blower on the car.
