Got the intake back from the machine shop and dry fitted and then did another fit with the NOS steel gasket.
 Observations of original W30 cars show no paint on the heads on either side of the intake and none on the steel gasket. It is believed a template was used to cover the intake and other items like the hook, thermostat housing and other small parts were painted as they lay on top of the template. I have seen engines with no paint on these items to some that had a partial coat. I opted for the latter and painted about 3/4 of the surface area of these parts.  More Nos parts used here. Balancer Lower pully Starter bracket Fuel pump Temp sending unit Coil bracket Manifolds were media blaster and a graphite was applied, burnished with 000 steel wool, one more coat of graphite applied and then heated with a heat gun to cure the graphite. Final look is fresh cast iron.
