Re: Ol' Blue 1970 - It's Quite a Story

Update. A few days ago, I finished cleaning up an old edelbrock 4 barrel carb that Hydrojunkie gave me. Here's a picture of it. Can't wait to see how it does hooked up to the new engine.

Today, I finished cleaning up and primed an Edelbrock performer intake that Hydrojunkie also donated to me. Many thanks! Tomorrow, I plan to paint it the new color that the whole engine will be.

And, that brings us to the final news of the day. After much thought and long deliberation, I have decided to paint my new engine metallic red. I went back and forth over blue, or Chevy hugger orange. But, since red is my favorite color, why not? I think it should look pretty sharp.

Also, after the engine and tranny are removed, I plan to spend a little time sprucing up the engine bay. Hopefuly, that will be happening in a week or two.

That's it for now. More pics to come.
