thanks everyone....
riceburner... ill post some pics of the interior as soon as its all put back together... right now its in a million different pieces..... and the alternator is an fd unit
the fuel pressure regualtor has more than enough room for hood clearance... even with the adjuster screw opened all the way
at this point all we are waiting on is a damn microtec to laptop adapter so my tuner can fiddle w/ it before it starts... but he just moved so its nowhere to be found.... so as soon as i can locate one, she gonna fire up

Damn dude, that looks awesome. What did you use on the engine peices? That whitish greyish stuff... Makes it look really clean. I've always wanted to do that with my car...
Super clean. Can't wait to see it in person someday.

TB and UIM look super clean all nice and sandblasted or just cleaned.
I'm doing my intake manis in satin black. not sure what im doing w/ the TB, maybe just beadblast it and clean it up in some simplegreen.
we keeps it clean!

well, everything was sandblasted then painted w/ high temp engine paint (cast aluminum is the color).. turned out great... and in case it chips, its not far from the actual aluminum color, so you wont be able to see chips
