Pre engine install work?
I am getting a new motor put in my civic and old gsr motor.....My mechanic has asked me if there is anything special he wants me to do, and i need some ideas. I have the VC and turbo pipes powder coated, and i have a polished bov,wastegate, and motor mount kit...but what other touches could i have him do? I need some pics for inspiration! boosted b series eks!

Have him disassemble your block and hot tank it. It will take some extra money for the machine shop but it will look good

Wire tuck and simple green the engine bay. Relocate battery to the rear of the vehicle remove the fuse box from in the engine bay to under the glove box.
Just a few quick things you can do off the top of my head. I'd post pics of my car but I wont.
