You, sir, are a brave soul...

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

:lol:
I was running all the bad scenarios through my head while doing it and was ready to :exit: at any moment :lol:
luckily it all worked out ;)

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

What's so crazy about it? It has wheels, and is obviously meant for an engine to be on it? :lol::metal:

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

good point!

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

here is what it looks like now, thanks to lots of clean up with my angle die grinder with roloc discs, and my wife's rattle can skills:metal:

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

Looks nice! Wanna swing by and clean my 5.3? ;)

What final color are you going to use on the motor? (Of course, that's assuming that the gray is primer...)

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

:lol:
took me most of the weekend to re-seal it and clean, then Megan painted...

that isn't primer, it is engine paint, and that is the color it is gonna be. water pump, brackets, and manifolds will all be black.

this is the color I wanted, but couldn't find anything in a rattle can locally

:thumbs: I'll be waiting on him!

Hey Scott, you still under house arrest?:devil:

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

Is there any advantageous over a regular one

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

nah, old technology, and a pain to clean the oil out and replace it....

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

oh i see your just going for that vintage feel lol

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

:lol: na she let me go finally ;)

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

nope, that is a pic of a factory correct restored '65...I just posted it to reference the color I wanted.....puff, puff, pass bro ;)


hey you wanna blast some exhaust manifolds for me?

I got the 200r4 trans, think I'm going to need a longer drive-shaft too......;)

the guy with the 700r4 is supposed to let me know something today, and I will let you know :ito:

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

That looks great man! That color will work really well with the exterior of the truck too. Give Megan props for her painting skills, but to be careful. There are quite a few guys on here needing stuff painted. :lol:

Oh and you used the wrong emoticon.. earlier puff, puff, pass bro :smoke: :lol:

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

:lol:

I have a new plan for the exterior......low gloss black with red and maroon pinstripes to tie in the maroon interior.....don't know how long that will be though.....

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

That sounds cool. That has actually crossed my mind for mine too. The satin black paint is pretty cool looking. The engine will look pretty good against that black too.

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

yeah, now I got lots of brackets, pulleys, and such to paint black...maybe next weekend I can start the swap....

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

Yeah I need to start doing some prep work for my engine. Seeing how fast I move! :lol: I need to find some pulleys and such that are chromed now, and are going to be black whenever I swap motors out. I may see if I can sandblast the brackets and have them either powdercoated, or paint them.

Where did you get the engine paint from?

Re: I'm one of you guys now
 

you have chrome pulleys now?

got the paint at auto-zone, it is Rust-Oleum high temp engine enamel
