Back to the bay today - engine bay that is, to finish cleaning up. A wire brush, some rust mort, and a little Krylon. I think this looks better, don't you?

Scrubbed everything else with a brush and degreaser, and wiped it down - now it's ready for the big block to slide back in!

Today I mocked up the parts to see what is missing and what is too ugly to put back on...

Sam with all the nice work and detail you should at least put the right intake manifold on. It will save you from opening up the engine in the future.

Sam. I will need to take my original comment back.. Those valve covers look great with everything painted.

Rick, I thought I had the right intake - it's a 3963569?


What part number should I be looking for?
Thanks,
