It's progress, either during the week or next weekend I will start to clean and de-accessorizing the motor. I'll try to keep posting pictures, but I dropped my camera right as I was finishing cleaning up, and it's not a happy camera anymore.

Thanks. It only took me two trips to the hardware store to find the right bolts. Just bought one of each when I was there the first time. three M12 1.25 pitch and one M10 1.5 pitch. The 12mm bolts were 4.60 a piece.

Haha, I wish. Internally it's staying stock...for now. I am going to clean it over the winter and then all the tune up parts, polish manifold, R manifold, na throttle body. paint the whole thing black or silver. I'll probably make 300 hp when I'm done though, that's my goal.
