If you are blasting and powder coating your inlets then be ultra careful about cleaning them afterwards.
The media hides absolutely everywhere inside them and you will have to be clinical in removing all of it because it will kill your engine very quickly otherwise!

I agree, wire brushing works best
I was surprised how easy this was to do and still two months on, it looks great. Especially for a daily driver. I did this while I changed all the intake rubbers and cleaned the manifold from PO oil overfills. Really makes a difference when you get it back together.
