I'm debating between getting it polished with the intake..... or powder coated candy red.

looking good, I think the valve cover will look great polished. The red seems to be a kickass highlight color.

Finally got everything together..... I was thinking of getting the grooves on the raised surface painted or coated candy red and have all the rest polished.

Now I just need to fab up some motor mounts.

Hey Nis720,

For the 720 swap you will be better off to eliminate entirely all the vacuum lines under the manifold and the PR & SCV solenoid valve mounting plate that goes on the back of the head because it will just hit the firewall when installed in the 720 truck. Also you will want to eliminate the EGR system since the EGR tube runs into the firewall, and the AIV system since it is totally useless after a couple of years when the AIV valve corrodes up from all the condensation that accumulates in high humidity conditions. I relocated the PR & SCV solenoid valves on my 720 KA24E conversion to the fender well side of the intake manifold on a custom bracket I made that attaches to the lower intake, and then ran rubber vacuum hoses to the SCV valve, PR valve, and the vacuum & inlet air sources. It is alot easier to get at it all that way, and is much cleaner than the way Nissan did it. I also relocated the EGR/Canister purge control solenoid from off the intake manifold and over to the drivers side fenderwell close to the Carbon Canister itself and plumbed it up with rubber vacuum hose as well (you should still keep this solenoid valve active even though the EGR system will be eliminated because it is also for the function of purging the hydrocarbon fumes adsorbed by the Carbon Canister).
