This thing is gunna be REALLY hard to paint if i ever decide to...the individual little pipes would be a pain to get into.




And yes only for $100 cash. lol.


I have a cast GT40 upper that is easy to paint. I'll trade it to you for the tubular GT40 upper;)

haha im sorry I cant part with these things :hick: they grew on me. lol. Anyway, I think the throttle body attached to it needs to go, its been modified but it doesnt look pretty...at all, it has big bare spots where someone got PO and took a wrench to it it looks like...lol but i saw it run and i know it works fine.... If i buy a BBK 70mm, itll work with a H.O. eec right?

The 70mm t-body will work,but a 65 is plenty for these engines with very mild mods to them.

Alright Here is everything, the cold air intake too. It looks alright in there. lol shiny :mullet:











the intake is kinda scuffed up on that corner, idk what the heck he did to it but i think itll clean up. Also, does that T-body look alrite to you? I dunno if ill keep it...

You have the air filter in wrong.The plate mounts to the inner fender,and the filter goes inside the inner fender (between the fender and inner fender) for cold air.

That throttlebody is fine.The EGR needs to be replaced though.Those mat=rks on the throttlebody are more than likely where someone tapped with some tool to break it free from whatever intake it originally came off of.It's fine,though.

one of the biggest things i noticed was the valve covers, before i knocked on it i honestly thought it was plastic haha. I might just keep these but paint them.... anyone have any engine color ideas that no one has? If not im going with blue and chrome and dont care who else has it i like it haha. BTW my H.O. intake plate wont fit my GT40 intake so it looks like ill have to buy a pretty cobra one haha.

The stupid lower intake is practically welded to the block! I've worked for three days to pry this thing off and even when I beat it with a hammer and pry bar it stays put... Any ideas? All of the bolts are out the only thing that's appears to be holding it is the seal... In starting to lose patience. Any help?

Just slow down, look it over real good. There's something that you missed still holding it down. Don't worry, happens to us all once in awhile...lol
