Well after finding that I figured the head would for sure be shot, and brownman had a 2g head laying around so I bought it from him. I also picked up a 2g manifold from Kerry (95talonracer). I have picked up a handful of parts along the way as good deals come along. Too much to list.
The intake manifold was completely filthy. Here is my home made hot tank experiment.
Used some industrial degreaser that my brother had, and the neighbor guy had a shitty old pot, so I tossed her on the turkey cooker!
It wouldn't fit all the way in, so even though it cleaned it immaculately, it had kind of a tiger stripe effect to it, so I decided to just get it coated to look stock. Thanks PowderKeg!
Before I got it coated though, I ported out the throttle body inlet to match my n/t throttle body. Here's a picture of how much material I took out:
About 3mm or so all the way around.
