Looks great! How hard was it after the engine was out to get it stripped of all of the wires and hoses? How long did it take?

I am not sure time wise, but trust me when I say it was a while. The harnesses come out OK, but it is all the little screws, braces, and things like that, that take the longest

I wish I went to that extreme instead of masking stuff and flat black-ing everything.

Are you going to reinstall the engine with the same wiring harness or going with a painless wiring setup?

Oh my *** I'm gonna puke. Not because of you, but because you just made me realize just how much work that's gonna be when I do it. It looks good. Even better once the motor's in.

Thanks everyone. Actually John Millican fixed up my stock harness and changed it to SD and I am cleaning it up for installation soon.

Now time to start putting stuff back together
