yes that works. paint the lim too.
i dint have the sc to sit on top the lim, so i taped it off. but you can set them up and paint both. tape off the sides of the lim where you dont want paint.

What paint did you use? And do you have to prime everything beforehand? I want to do my S/C and throttle body silver, and then the fuel rail black.
Sweeeet

What did you use to clean the surfaces? I was thinking wire wheeling everything.
see the wire wheel set there lol and brake cleaner. if stuff is real rusty wear a dust mask.
my block was a rust coated beast. first cleaned piston top lol

I'll just wire wheel the top of the S/C and throttle body. Fuel rail don't need to be cleaned up. Just painted right away.
clean the heads and paint them too. you cant see much past there really.
I'll paint them black then lol.
what ever color you like. its yours. you think i asked if i should paint mine yellow? no i did not lol
My color scheme is black and silver. So a silver S/C/LIM/TB and a black fuel rail and heads for contrast.Quote:

clean and paint. thats it. all i did.
So i drove to pick up my heads today and the guy didnt have them off the block yet and i didnt have enough time to wait any longer but he had two gtps and it was nice to meet a fellow enthusiast in Arizona! He also told me he would sell me the whole motor for 100$ but i dont know if it worth it since he spun a bearing

Hey guys so im sure there is a thread or a how to for top swapping but i cant find it, i can only find the one with the parts list. What do i do with the balancer shaft when i topswap?

Nothing. Leave it a Lone.
Ok ya i saw a thread of a guy talking about the balancer having to come off and how it wouldnt be that hard to do a cam and timing chain at that time. I thought he was talking about the balancer shaft but now i re read it and assume bhe was just talking about the hb

if you do a top swap, the harmonic balancer has to come off and get replaced with a supercharger version, otherwise there is no way for the supercharger to have a belt that will turn it. once you have the harmonic balancer off, it isn't a lot more work to take the timing cover off and change the cam.Quote:
