Re: Project 69SWB

Here's the motor all cleaned up and painted... I got a little happy with the green paint and got some over spray on my valve springs.. but it wiped off real easy since they were oily... I ordered some valve covers from Edelbrock that took forever to come in.. didn't have them for these pics. Cleaned up my oil pan, new gaskets on intake, oil pan, timing cover, fuel pump, new water pump, new harmonic balancer...

Re: Project 69SWB

motor going back in... 350 turbo transmission, took me all day to clean up, etch and paint. It's been beefed up a bit and has a shift kit in it. I replaced the filter and pan gasket, as well as front and real seals.

Re: Project 69SWB

Here's the motor back in and the truck pushed out of the garage on wheels for the first time in about 4 months. was going to take it for a spin but was out of gas and a steering wheel. Have a ton of little stuff to do, but getting to here has been a big step. Valve covers finally came in and I picked up cap, rotor and wires. painted the cap grabber green.
