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.

i used duplicolor high heat engine paint, and primer.
and the same primer with hi heat black on all the little parts.

What did you use to clean the surfaces? I was thinking wire wheeling everything.
01-21-2016
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
01-21-2016
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.
01-21-2016
clean the heads and paint them too. you cant see much past there really.
01-21-2016
I'll paint them black then lol.
01-21-2016
what ever color you like. its yours. you think i asked if i should paint mine yellow? no i did not lol
01-21-2016
My color scheme is black and silver. So a silver S/C/LIM/TB and a black fuel rail and heads for contrast.Originally Posted by ScottyDoggs

Im assuming theres no prep when painting the sc and stuff besides cleaning. Like no scuffing are sanding balognie right?

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.

If it's a complete l67, grab it, all the parts you need for a top swap will be fine, them you have all the pullies, bolts, etc...then scrape the block for 20bucks
01-22-2016
Well its complete except the pulleys are already off it and the supercharger, tb, and all that stuff up top is off but i already have a sc. Basically it has everything lim and down including coil pack bracket with coil packs
