Update 8/27/2011:
So today i took off the vehicle wrap from the trunk and quarter panel areas. Getting it prepped for the matte black vinyl. Heres some before/after pics:

So now i gotta scrub off the remaining adhesive from the wrap; its been on there since '05!!! I'll wrap the trunk first in matte black just to see how it looks and if the material is good quality. From there i'll wrap the doors, quarter panels and roof. I'll leave the fenders for last so i dont dirty them up. Im also thinking of going w/a CF hood. What do ya'll think?

 

[iBeast]

why dont you just paint it?

Its cheaper to do a vehicle wrap and it looks just as good. Since i can install it myself, i save myself on paying someone to do it for me.

 

[Axiom1]

So here is the first stage of degreasing the block. There are layers upon layers of crap on this engine. I plan on doing it all by hand so its definitely gonna take me some time.

 

[Robin...]

Its getting there man, good work...

 

[Axiom1]

Its getting there man, good work...

Thanks. Yeah,this first pass took me about an hour cause its so caked. But as it gets cleaner, its definitely worth the time, mess and sweat.

So im taking a break from this hot a*s Vegas sun. Heres what i got done so far this morning. Second pass on block and tranny and #1 & #4 piston. Much better.

 

[Axiom1]

Heres #2 and #3 done. And another pass on the block/tranny. Not worried about the oil pan cause im just gonna buy a new one.

 

[Axiom1]

So ive finished one side of the block/tranny for now as well as the pistons. Tomorrow ill work on the rest of the bay and take out the oil jet before i forget. After that, ill do a bit more detailing on the block/tranny and then move on to the new head. I like the progress so far.

[Eg Killer]

[Axiom1]

Yah that's Wat meant my bad lol yah you will get more hp if u do use them

Yeah thats what ive found out in my research on the swap. This is my first time doing it by myself and this much in depth so thats why im taking my time on it.

 

[Eg Killer]

Yah good think you did research becuz if u didn't it will be off and not that much hp
Also that's good your taking your time so it would all turn out good and aloe becuz it's hot out in Vegas

 

[Axiom1]

Lol, thats an understatement. The second i walk out to the garage i start sweating. Its good to be able to finally do this project. Its relaxing just getting your hands dirty while drinking a cold one and see progress build up.

 

[Eg Killer]

Thats tight bro. No, actually i didnt know about the chip. What would that do? I live in the Centennial area, up North on the 95.

 

[Axiom1]

So today i finished up the left side of the bay, excluding the alternator and did a bit more detailing on the block. I would love to do a wire tuck but it just seems like a real P.I.T.A. Or even some of the hoses.
