So other than bolting on the new Alternator , A/C compressor and the new radiator the engine is pretty much cleaned up and buttoned up. They are nice looking engines with the supercharger. It's a shame it's all hidden from view!

So far, Supercharger serviced , wire brushed, cleaned and clear coated with Eastwood Metal Clear, %15 pulley, new Water Pump, new Crank Position Sensor, Cam Position Sensor and Anti-knock Sensor, Cleaned Throttle Body, all new Hoses, Thermostat and new Aluminum Thermostat housing, new Belt Tensioner with Alta Tensioner Stop, new Belt, new Damper, Oil and Filter. new Alternator. A/C compressor cleaned up and C.C.
New colder plugs and new plug wires.

Engine and Transmission Mount Castings bead blasted and painted with Alumia-Blast, new engine mount. Madness Mini Cold air Intake. Every nut and bolt polished with a wire wheel and clear coated. Pretty much all the aluminum engine parts wire brushed and C.C. Engine Block cleaned and painted with Por-15.
Frame rails and frame horns at the end of the rails sanded and painted. Intercooler ends polished and C.C.

New Pads and Rotors, new parking brake cables x2.

Broken Radiator Support repaired, cleaned and painted, [to be installed] Belly Pan repaired and painted, both grilles cleaned and painted. OEM Scoop for Power Steering Pump, [to be installed after axles and suspension bits]].

To do; Axles, possible Ball Joints, possible Control Arm bushings. [Maybe the whole set in Poly?] One Ball exhaust Mod.

I think I'm going to decide about struts and shocks after I've actually driven it further than from my neighbors house to mine, [about 100 yards].

But at least the engine is pretty much buttoned up. Kind of a crappy photo but you get the idea. Maybe I'll try to take a better one. I was on my way out the door.
