Just got done working on cleaning it for today, got quite a bit done on the engine bay, finished cleaning the old valve cover, and did some more work on the intake. The lower intake had some pitting on one of the blind coolant passages so I JB welded it up. Today, I sanded it down, but I might put some more JB weld on there to make it better...what I have now is enough, so I might just leave it. No pics of the intake, but here's some pics:
Old lifters, rebuilt, and soaking in gear oil. Who knows if they'll be used in the future. Surrounded by most of the clean parts, and cleaning stuff:

Before:
Now:
Original Valve cover cleaned, it's been soaking for 2 weeks in purple power. I'm going to remove the sticker and paint them. I'm thinking black, with white stripes:
Started cleaning the intake runners of the heads, the coolant passages, and the majority of the gasket material from the old LIM gaskets:
Now I'm off to work, more to come tomorrow...BBQ, Friends, Family, Beer, and Projects, what more could a guy want.
