Are you "Sweet96TA" on Camaroz28.com by any chance? The intake looks really nice. As as far as "cleaning up the little pits," it's a lost cause. It's called "porosity." (Air bubbles in the casting.) The more you sand, the more you'll uncover. It's a heartbreaker to have to put up with that after all that work, I know.

I'm glad you posted that thread here, because I've posted pics of stuff I've polished in the Appearance section before and LT1's get no respect in there. You'd think it would be the other way around since we have to work 3X harder to make our engines bling seeing as how we don't have a crapload of polished aftermarket parts at our disposal...

Very shiny! Looks like you're going to have one sharp looking engine.

^True. We also don't have coil packs hiding our valve covers or plastic intake manifolds.
