Haha! I have to hand it to that layer of gunk... it really protected things nicely. A lot of these plated parts (mounts, pulleys, brackets, etc) look like brand new, if a little dull underneath. Last time I cleaned the gunk off the back of the engine while it was mounted, I was rewarded by oil leaks everywhere. This time there's gaskets instead of caked on filth to keep the oil inside

And yeah it's a HUGE list of jobs we're doing. I couldn't have accomplished 90% of it even with infinite time without my partners in crime. One of these days I'm betting we'll see Wolff up there with Roush and Lingenfelter and Shelby. In fact, I should get his autograph on the motor now, while I still can....
