Cleaning & painting engine bay. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I’m trying to get my truck ready for the new engine.
I made a wooden support for the transmission that spans across each side of the frame and is bolted with 2 bolts. As soon as the weather gets better I plan on rolling it out of the garage.

Does anyone have some good advice on cleaning this? Would TSP work? I don’t want to mess up the paint on the out side. I’m considering painting the fire wall to correct some unsightly areas- mainly around the brake res. which has leaked at some point and messed up the paint.
