I have my engine and ZF out of my car. The gas tank is at the shop getting "renu" done to it. In the meantime, I was crawling around in the engine bay last night, and wondering if there were any firewall mods that can be done at this time? Is there any benefit to the "stainless" besides appearance? I'm not to concerned with looks right now. I would rather have the car properly sound and safe before I worry about cosmetics. Although, I'm aware that now is the time to do things because the engine being out of the way. Besides getting small amounts of surface rust off and putting some high temp primer of some sort what else can be done. I know most heat enters through the coolant pipes from underneath. Also, any suggestions to clean up the clutter where the coil and voltage regulator are located? (Aftermarket kits from the vendors) Or just tackle it yourself and do what you can. I work with wire all day for a living so I'm not too worried about the difficulty level. Thanks for any advice that is given.
