I just finished my Monte a week ago...still dialing in the carb...G54B
Leaving the engine in the truck I cleaned my block deck, piston tops, block front, and oil pan. I pressure washed the block. I replaced the alternator, distributor, ex. manifold, carb, starter, oil pump, water pump, jet valve head, engine mounts, fuel pump, timing chains, master cylinder, booster and rear brakes. I cleaned my intake, timing cover, and brackets. Painted bare metal I cleaned except for the block. Replaced all stock fastners with stainless. I live on the coast and my old fastners were all rusted together. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />
Replaced jet valve head with non jet Clearwater head.
Replaced Weber 32/36 with 38 Outlaw.
Replaced stock ex. manifold with Pace Setter. (Only header I could find.)
Haven't replaced my coil yet tho I have a new one. Havent made a block off plate for the EGR valve (Corked for now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />) Haven't cleaned my valve cover. Haven't done my front brakes. Need new tires... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

look under my Montero section.
