Re: And so it begins......

So it's official: I've entered the doldrums with this swap. Got everything bought and cam FINALLY arrived tonight. Hoping to take the engine to the engine shop this week for the LS3 top end swap. I was getting some stuff together at the shop tonight and noticed that some of the paint from where I painted the engine orange had started flaking off already. I started looking and all the paint is crap. So now I need to strip the whole engine again and wipe down with lacquer thinner. With an unheated shop and 40 degree highs I can't get the paint to stick. Just delaying the engine and the whole swap even more. It sounds petty but just stupid set backs have been getting the best of me.

Quick: provide me some inspiration.
