I painted mine on the inside before I welded them in, I just need to get some on the back of the welds now.
You can always use Eastwoods Internal Frame coating, works well inside stuff you can't reach with a regular spray gun.

Well I found a car intake manifold for a 100 buckets off craigslist which I'm going to install. If youre going to install a car intake manifold on a truck engine be advise your going to have to change the timing also plus reroute the map sensor wires. I'll update if there is anything u will have change. I also took the cylinder heads off alot of carbon build. I'm going to clean the top of cylinder heads and send the heads of to a machine shop.

The last piece of sheet metal that needs to be replaced came in today. I also took out the rear floor pan and the timing cover suppose no slipping in the timing change.

Great progress!
Intake looks nice, I'm following along.  Really curious what all the differences are between the truck and car Gen3 motors.
