Well, I've been quiet but my new years resolution was to get this baby done. So I have been working on one aspect or another of my project for the last few weeks.
I started setting up to install accessories and then decided that I since I've dragged it out this long, I might as well clean this engine up along with the hard lines. (If anyone is curious, for this process I used KBS Coatings product line: AquaClean (Degreaser/Paint prep), Rust Blaster (& etcher), Rust Seal Primer, BlackTop Chassis paint, and MotorCoater)
engine before:
engine after:

This will either be a good looking engine or the prettiest coffee table ever..
I'm ok with that.
Also, I just acquired STeeL25T's Hydra EMS so I need to tinker with it to figure out how it works.
