I had the frame sandblasted and I used Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Satin. It seems pretty durable so far.
If anyone is interested I saw one on C/L in Waco Tx last week it was $3500.00... motor and chevy trans set-up.
I've been told you can squeeze one in with a 1" body lift, but it would be better with a 2" body lift. Your thoughts/plans?
The way I ran my after cooler piping I will need the 2" body lift and if I use the stock hood, I will have to cut out the front hood bracing. I also had to make a new inlet elbow spacer to lower the tubing as close as I could to the motor to clear the middle hood support.
I have a P-pump injector pump and it is configured a little different. Using a VE pump you may get away with a 1" body lift.
I had pictures of the inter cooler piping all installed but I cant find them to show how I plumbed the motor.

what else did you need to purchase for the swap?
