    Vented hood

    I have a couple large magnets(for signage/advertising)that normally stick to a car door,they are black,and cover over the holes by about an inch.Figure IF it gets caught in,or even sees rain this would help. As far as moisture,the engine compartment should be,for the most part,waterproof.

    Timing belt

    A small block chevy puller works fine.There are 4 threaded holes in the inset of the 7M balancer,use two of them.IIRC you can use 2 of the bolts from the AC compressor bracket for the puller.

    Should I paint my wheels

    Personally not a fan of black wheels on a white car.Maybe paint them white,but not sure if that would look good with those particular wheels either.

    ever attemted?

    Not looking for support.Just think it's asinine to swap a motor out (ge-gte) without building it first.I,in no way,shape,or form,ever would expect any large amount of power out of an na 7M.Don't see "building" an na as a waste of money either though,would be doing it for the hope of a moderately...

    ever attemted?

    First of all you don't know SHIT about me,my budget,or my mindset so fuck off. Secondly,If I want a 7mgte,I will go buy a car that was already turbo from the factory instead of hassling with boosting mine.I'm smart enough to know not to just slap a turbo on my ge and hope it lasts.And if I did...

    painting car perl white

    Our bumpers aren't really flexible enough to need flex additive added if you use urethane.If you do use it in every thing(even the primer)It only takes a tiny bit too,and it doesn't haze your clear. HOK is great paint.Kinda pricey,but their specialty stuff is top notch...

    wheel well coating

    You would be surprised how much rust can hide underneath that undercoating too,never to be seen until the metal is gone. And Zinc chromate is awesome for rust preventive/protection.Didn't even think about a marine supply co.Most of the automotive paint suppliers quit carrying it (I was using one...
