Engine compartments frustrate me because the only way to keep them looking good is to not drive the car!!!

I need to head to bed. Julian wants to come over early and finish up his Trans Am. His car needs a fuel filter and it's ready to roll.

How would you go about cleaning an engine compartment weakly? Degreaser or just car soap and water?

It's aluminum and it is huge in person. It is from a mack truck, just have no idea which one and what year. I traded a rear end for it with a friend of mine who had it on his 90 Formula 350.
I am putting in a 6 speed.....eventually. I'll live with the auto for awhile.

. Spun out on the highway at 75mph and slid nose first into a guard rail, then spun around and tapped the rear on the guard rail and finished the 360 and pulled over to the side of the road.
I am running the Hedman 68460 long tube headers. Not sure if they are the best for this application, but they look cool and were really easy to put on from underneath the car.
I probably should have kept this setup,
But I was going to run MAF on the LT1 since I didn't know you can turn it off in the 94-97 cars. I love the dual cold air look.

Is it safe to steam clean an engine comparement as long as you cover the distributor and other electrical parts. My engine compartment is pretty dirty. I havent cleaned it since I bought the car!

Many, including myself, have used VHT Flameproof 1500* paint with great results.
