Port the wastegate on the turbo.

Do all your wiring for your gauges.

Clean the engine bay.

Replace the clutch, radiator etc.

Change your vacuum hoses if you sent only the short block off to get rebuilt.

Get a street port.

Block off all ways for air to get around your radiator.

Rig up an intercooler sprayer.

done

Clean the engine bay.

on the list

Replace the clutch, radiator etc.

have fluidyne radiator - going to do clutch when i get the motor back - really looking for things to do within the engine bay or otherwise....

Change your vacuum hoses if you sent only the short block off to get rebuilt.

already have silicone hoses all around - the big couplers dont really match the others, but thats something im not too worried about

Get a street port.

engine was already street ported, but yes bigger porting is instore

Block off all ways for air to get around your radiator.

good idea!...i didnt think of that

Rig up an intercooler sprayer.

going to go with a bigger IC and a custom setup via me with how it is set up - i shouldnt need a sprayer, but thats easy enough to do later

THANKS for your ideas.....keep em coming
