Those are cheap for a reason...I was looking into buying a BMW 328 5 speed coupe for HPDE. You'd be surprised how cheap those cars are. Found a few stock running cars for less than 2k. Decided not to do it though.
That is scary close to the color I'm going to powdercoat my coil covers for my 4.6. Looks good!Intake back. I love it. Looks way better in person.
the color is Ironsides II from the Prismatic powders catalog
Real nice man!Hardware time (again). I hop back on my favorite hardware site Mcmaster Carr.
bought some SS studs and ARP SS nuts off mcmaster
now, the lenghts aren’t perfect, but I bought a die to rethread the ends after I cut a tiny bit off. This is the uncut look with my 3/8” intake spacer installed
after trimming and running the thread cutting die down them. Nice flush profile in stainless steel
Real nice man!
Now to make sure it stays clean!!
I don’t have nearly as much invested, but I feel the exact same way about the gear swap, rear end rebuild I just did. Can’t wait til the day I get it driving again, but continue to imagine something being very wrong! Only time will tell!It can't get dirty if it stays in the garage forever
As I get closer and closer to the point where I can crank this over, the butterflies in my stomach are starting to get nervious with regards to this engine running perfectly, and reliably. I have nightmares about messing something up, not torqueing something, a bit of metal shavings somewhere, etc, and screwing this all up.
I'd like to think I paid enough attention to detail to have taken care of all the risks....I hope
I am sure you have been asked already...
can we get a bolt/nut part# list with quantities....
We should make it a sticky so that others can bling out as well.

That looks really sharp! Would this be hardware you used to fasten the upper to the lower manifold?
