My engine is coming back together (not 56K friendly)
Pics of my new engine pre and during paint. Sorry there all camera phone pics, couldn't find my digital camera. Posting the thumbnails here, click on them for larger image.
This is what my weekend consisted of:
These two are from Saturday
Sunday was extended family christmas dinner, so obviously no work.
Monday was spent masking every little nook and cranny I could find
Tuesday afternoon. (Christmas day)
(primer & first coat color)
(color & clear)
I'm beginning to think my goal of driving it on new years day could come to reality. All I got left is to resurface the flywheel, pick up a clutch, install a new output shaft seal in the transmission, get belts & hoses, make my braided fuel lines, get a distributor cap and rotor, the needed fluids, and reinstall all of it. Oh yeah also need a base gasket for the Holley, which should be the hardest part to find.
