did 12 hour day yesterday. cleaned off the old gaskets, cleaned the heads, cleaned the spider parts ( 4 times (and a run thru the dishwasher!), and drained coolant ( again) and removed the water bridge, cleaned and replaced the 4 gaskets on the ends of the heads. the ones at the back were original and the block off plate was rusted. orginally I was not going to pull the bridge but glad I did as the round seal into the block was nasty. all gooey and sticky. looked like the seals at the heads were leaking too.

cleaned the throttle body:



the heads cleaned up:



spider parts pre final clean with Eastwoods Pre and steel wool


parts all cleaned and ready for coat of eastwood aluma blast. decided to do the water bridge too and the oil housing.

Here are the intake parts post 3 coats of paint. I used red wire nuts to keep the paint out of the injector ports.

Yesterdays progress. Water bridge reinstalled. Oil separator reinstalled. Throttle and lower housing in place. Air injection connected.

And today's progress. All new vacuum line. Fuel and regulators rough in. Wiring. Doing as much as I can before pipes get in the way. Tomorrow pipes and injectors.

Nice work! Damn satisfying, as well. Kind of nice just to watch without doing the work, too. BTDT

Got my injectors back from witch hunter last night and then installed them into the tubes, and the tubes onto the engine. Tomorrow new fuel lines from Roger arrive for the injectors and I'll install the fuel rails.

Installed the fuel rails today and completed my project. Did a test first with fuel pump bridged to check for leaks- none. started on first try!

DONE!!!!

Very very nice - sure to get that "wow" look when you pop your hood at car events. Great job restoring the coolest intake ever made

Very pretty! Well done

Very nice. Seeing as you painted the spider, the only thing I would have done additionally is to sand the casting seams on the runners. Why they didn't do a better job initially puzzles me.

Holy S@@T, that looks great!!!
