Show off the little stuff! Reply #78 – October 09, 2005, 02:51:13 PM a lot of zip tying, wire looming, cleaning up, line re-routing, all kinds of stuff like that, probably find you a K&N cone, ditch the airbox, and move the IRCMwithout spending any money on anything other than the 3G alt, and a K&N cone, and spending time re-routing and tying and looming, it looks like: Quote Selected

Dumb Question Reply #84 – October 12, 2005, 07:32:14 AM Do I need a new gasket set if I pull off the plenum and EFI cover to paint it? Quote Selected

Show off the little stuff! Reply #86 – October 29, 2005, 07:11:07 PM I polished the IAC, put on some chrome valve covers, and painted the upper intake early ford blue and the lower silver. Gives the engine bay a little color instead of just silver and black. Oh also added Ford Racing 9mm blue wires. And yes if anyone wants to know they fit the factory wire looms:D . Quote Selected

Reply #87 – October 29, 2005, 08:40:59 PM QuoteAnd yes if anyone wants to know they fit the factory wire loomsYou mean those looms were on the car when you got it and are not cracked? Even with the low miles time itself usually wreaks havoc on the small plastic bits under the hoods of cars. I'll be re-doing all my vacuum lines with siliconized airline tubing once my motor is finally done (been draggin my @$$). Most of them were replaced this way already, but I found some even better stuff and I am gonna just do them all now. I got a set of the blue good year hoses too. Pictures by this Wednesday, I promise!BTW Thuderjet, that looks real nice! Quote Selected

There is one between the upper (plenum) and lower manifold. Always a good idea to replace any gasket once it's been used and disturbed. Cuts down on "mysterious" leaks later. Quote Selected
Show off the little stuff! Reply #89 – October 30, 2005, 11:27:51 AM Yeah Paul those were there when I bought the car. They are all in good shape no cracks or anything. It even had the distributer boot! The only thing I had to by was the coil cover. Oh the engine bay didn't look like that when I got it. The body was great and so was the interior (well except for the cracks in the passenger seat) but the engine bay was really dirty. To get it to the point it is now took about 2 weekends of work and taking alot of things apart to paint them. All the front accesssories have been taken off and painted with silver high temp paint. I also took the upper and lower off to paint them. The only thing that I haven't painted is the block. You can't really see it cause the engine sits so low in the car that no one can tell that Ford never painted it and it's, well, rusty brown. Besides it would be a pain in the ass to pull everyting out of the engine bay and mask it to paint the block. I'll just wait till I rebuild the engine to paint it Ford blue :D . Quote Selected
