Very nice, that's coming along great! I suggest you cover the block up with some heavy-duty plastic trashbags, then clean the strut towers/firewall and paint everything. It's not a lot of work, for a huge improvement in looks under the hood.

lookin good, when you call it quits for the day, I suggest spraying inside the cylinders with WD40 to protect them against any form of precipitation/condensation, unless of course you're going balls to the wall and throwing the new heads on tonight

DOOO EEEEEEEEET. I might play hookey on Tuesday to do my brakes/shocks on the Jeep, and new fenderwells on the Monte. Gotta see how many sick days I have left for the year first.

all day scraping off head gaskets, what are you using, your thumbnail? pick up one of those plastic scrapers that you put a razor blade in for scraping paint off glass...save you a lot of time

And if you don't have air, you can get the one that goes in the end of a drill. I used my drill/roloc wheel to clean the gasket crap off the intake manifold, and it went quick. If you do it with the roloc, just make sure you have a GOOD ShopVac to suck all the dust outta the piston holes.

k so i took a week off from the car, now im back at it. lower intake is on, fuel rails are bolted back down, electrical connections are made...rockers still need to go on, then valve covers, then upper intake...and then i pray that it runs.
how the car has been sitting for the past few weeks...ugh pollen
and this one goes out to Big Al...yes, i Frammed it before i slammed it. (FRAM filter is only for the first hour or so of running to get all the s*** out of it, then a WIX is going on)
