The more i think about it and now that you pointed it out, i think i will run an upsidedown intercooler. they do look pretty sweet behind the bumper! (i did some poking around your thread too for pics!)

After spending some time disassembling the engine block, it all looks ok and ill be making a electrolysis tank and dunking the block for a day or so, to clean the surface rust and clean all the thread holes and also the cooling system (freeze plugs ect ect).
After taking the block apart I decided to take apart the Subframe. started with the arms and Diff, then moved onto the subframe bushings.
started with the fire method (Didn't work!!)
Waste of Time
Ended up cutting out the rubber inner section and cutting a slit in the sleeves, trying my best to not cut into the subframe...
Since we've had a couple days of lovely 40* plus weather here in PA.
I started by cleaning up the holes where the bushings go with a wire wheel on a drill, and tried it (with a cup wheel) on the rest to clean it up but it didnt work that well. So I decided to get the Sand blaster out and go to town.
Before
After
Just using play sand for now. Might swing by Tractor Supply and grab a bag or 2 of fine blasting sand to run through as a finish before painting.
Also, I moved an old boiler from my basement to the garage to use as a wood stove. It Had to be taken apart to move it in 4 sections to the garage (**Thanks BurnsAuto**).... I re-assembled it and set it in its place.
might get to use it this winter!!
