Arrow Show us your Engine bay, specs, price spent!

After seeing Bandit's bling, I thought it'd be good to see a collection of what peoples engines look like, and what you have done to them, and approx price spent!

Someone start with a photo of their engine bay, brief spec and a price you've spent if you wish. Hopefully see a varied amount of photos of standard to insane!

Engine Misc.:

* polished power steering pot cover
* stainless custom coil pack cover
