Firewall Prepped

I started prepping the firewall recently soI can drop my 4.8l in what do you think? I used Yezzi's method of clearing the surface after I cleaned it with acrysol.

Re: Firewall Prepped

When I was going threw Yezzi's blue J thread his signature line has a couple of links. One of them went threw how he prepped the firewall and cleaned up the underhood on a truck. Mine is not nearly as nice of a job as his but I liked the idea. Acrysol is a paint cleaner solvent for removing the sticky stuff from trim and what not.

Re: Firewall Prepped

Looks good, while you have the motor out check that your air box is still sealed to the cab.
