You should clean the motor up a bit and remove the rust, but looks great.

Default I plan on it

I plan on cleaning up the motor I am goint to pull the stock crank pully and clean it up. I also plan on pulling the coil packs and having the valve covers powder coated. When all is said and done it should look and run great. I am hope to make 375 to 400 to the rear wheels and have a clean looking swap. Just getting started and also the Nova will be in the body shop for atleast another month or so due to the fact I found some sweet rust and have to replace my drivers side rear quarter now.
