It's tough to get off, I'll have to find a good degreaser. It practically needs scraped off, but I don't want to damage the paint underneath.

The brake booster? I've heard of some people being able to get it in without cutting the strut tower. Some people just have to hog out the booster holes a bit. Ford claims that post 92+ cars will have to modify the strut tower... but mine was a 91 and there was no way in hell it was going in there without cutting the tower. I honestly can't say what you'll be required to do, maybe nothing, maybe the same that I did.

Np, the engine bay is definitely getting cleaned, but the wire hiding I don't care for that much. The go is the show, in my opinion.

I don't see where in the world you all get the patience to build the car before the motor

So when the time comes to build the motor, that is all I have to focus on. No worrying about stopping/handling/drivetrain breaking/charging/etc... Did the same thing to my Chevelle. Only I haven't gotten around to actually dropping the motor in that, yet.
