I would make sure its the absolute cleanest you can get it before you do... Otherwise youre clowned if you get dirt in the wax... It better be spotless if you do.

Oh yeah...after the plenum is complete...im going to get some high temp(im guessing it will be needed) paint and mask off the top of the motor except the 3.4 SFI and paint them black...i think that will set off the motor a bit
