    I suppose a motor R&R is also a good time to replace the boots and repack the CV joints.

    And while I am that far involved change the A arms bushing also.

    And probably rebuild the calipers. Is there anything else I am missing, or should I just disassemble the entire car and start over?

    Spoken like a true Ferrari owner!
    Thanks for the good laugh, Doug...

    Replace all rubber hoses (fuel, coolant and vapor lines) and the brake flex hoses...

    Also a good time to clean, degrease, and restore/repaint the engine bay.
    Removing and cleaning the gas tanks might be a good idea too.

    Already figured engine bay detailing, and ALL rubber hose replacement

    Didn't think about the gas tanks.

    Any suggestions on how to clean out a gas tank?

    Thanks,

    The CV boot kits are the same as porsche 911 (about $12/ea.) so don't go wasting money on ferrari prices....
