You can get most of the brackets relatively cheap on eBay and from junkyards.

You can repaint the valve cover.

As for the intake manifold, try gently filing the corrosion off first and see how that works.


As for the mold...you'll definitely need to take out the seats and either hand-wash the carpet or just replace it. I'd wash the floor off good too to make sure you get it all off.

You can spray the bay with a pressure washer, covering up the fuse box, dizzy, alternator, and battery. I would paint the VC, use super clean to get the shit off the head, intake mani, and some other things that are aluminum.

i bought engine degreaser from autozone and sparayed in on the engine and let it sit for 30min, then i power washed it and it made it look real good

I do the same thing. It's a piece of cake.
