not that im posing to have an lt4...
 

but with my FRCs and their red lettering this will look badass:

oh and the fins will be polished once this is all dry...it was just a ***** to mask them off perfectly.

lol, looks like you didn't mask off anything. I rather a white manifold myself.

i masked the intake ports then the TB and both EGR gasket surfaces then plugged the map hole and each injector hole and the PCV hole. the others i didnt give a ****. lol.

holy crap i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!

wow that looks really good!!!!

Caleb, how hard was it to remove the intake manifold? I've been wanted to paint mine red for some time now.

that looks good caleb

is your Z your daily driver? if so, take two days off work. its not hard removing the manifold, i can get it off in about 20-30 minutes. but to paint it, it takes a good day of waiting between coats, then when you reinstall it its a good idea to let the silicone harden for a day.

tell ya what grant...since you've done 4th gen front end body work...install my new TA bumper and i'll R/R your intake :D

Well, the bumper cant be that hard bro, but if you're serious then sure. But lets wait till i have some free time. To be honest, i dont really want to touch the engine right now till i make sure she's all painted and good looking on the outside. Then i'll pick up some of those frc and paint the maniold just like you. ;)

thats looks really good, just thought id add my opinion lol

im pretty sure the word you were looking for was opposed.

Looks really good, but did you know Brent sells decals for the stripes at the top?

looks good caleb. id like to do that to mine, but i think im going for function before looks, i really only care how the body looks, and as long as its decently clean under the hood im happy. but that will look good, post some final pics for sure!

yay, we can be 'posers' together now.

woooooooooo hooooooooo!

i got home from work at 6 but didnt start til 9:30 :) but i finished at 11 so im fast...lazy but fast. it looks just like an LT4 manifold :) tomorrow i'll trim the FRCs to fit then before 5 tomorrow i'll have the studs to install em :D
