It's not really that bad IMO. there's only 2 harnesses that have to be taken out and everything's pretty modular compared to Fox cars that have everything chopped up into different pieces. I'd say it took about a full day to stip it all down. Well worth the effort though.

i really need to do all this....i should have done it when i put my shortblock in 6 months ago, but like they say hindsight is 20/20. the next thing i think i want to do though is put in a k-member...

So did you finally get the paint the way you wanted it? I'm definitely going to consider doing a k-member too. Almost seems stupid not to with the motor out. Do they require more than the a-arms, like a coilover kit?

thats why i didn't do it while i had the engine out. If i'm doing a k-member, i'm completely redoing my front suspension while i'm at it which at the time was way too much money

the paint isnt perfect but once everything is in it will look great. as far as the k-member goes, i got the qa1 unit and i am using 03 cobra a-arms. with the qa1 all the stock stuff fits, but you need to grind down the back of the a-arms a bit for clearance. at first i regretted just not putting the motor in, but when it came time to paint the entire car and it cost an extra $1000 for the engine bay i knew i would have regretted not doing it. in my case, foresight was 20/20.
