Drooping the engine, what else should I consider doing?

Dropping the engine in order to take care of the coolant hose welding, etc.

What else should I think of doing while the engine is out? Need ideas.

Background on my car:
Built engine
Big turbos
Fueling
Transmission rebuilt
Associated mods all done (intercoolers, clutch, exhaust)

Just do not want to miss anything while the engine is out.

Thanks in advance.

Hope it doesn't droop too far...........

If you havn't done inlet pipes they are good for some extra power. USP or 911tuning both have good products.

Some people would say if you track your car you might want to consider welding your coolant fittings if the motor is out.

Got to love the iPhone...

Car has a Mafless tune, turbo inlet pipes are relocated to above intercoolers.

The reason we dropped the engine was the coolant pipe welding...

Zip tie every hose that can possibly come loose that would/could create a boost leak. I just had to reroute a hose running from the top of the engine to the fuel pressure regulator because I couldn't get in there to reconnect it to the stock location, even after lowering the engine via the motor mounts. It was a pain in the a**!
