I been looking through posts and stickies and i am still very confused about this. next year i am planning to do a major project on my car in which i will either swap my engine or add a GT4 front end or even both . The Gt4 front end conversion parts are posted in the stickies but still are confusing to me , can somebody that did it before tell me exactly which parts need and a simple guide of what needs to be done ? thanks everybody

Everything in the bay should be painted with the exception of
exhaust manifold and misc odds and ends. before cars had under
plastic they were completly exposed under the bay with far worse
corosion protection than we have today. The stock gt4 rainguard has loovers
moisture still gets in just not as much as being completely open. The ones I sold are
more or less a shield keep water from just spraying directly on the wireing.
Water still gets in, but I can hose it off without directly hosing my engine.
The 3sgte won't have a problem being completly exposed or hasn't that
I have heard of anyway.
