On a Jet Plane,
Illinois
Tonight the engine/trans was pulled from the car. Decided that since the car is down this far minds will rebuild the other 7 bolt and use the cylinder head I have redone. I had BC springs and retainers installed and it will be getting a set of FP 272 cams.
The question is now... which block to use. Technically I have two. I am thinking of seeing if the block from the white car is o.k. That engine was overheated; not not for long. If it is not warped, I'll get that block all cleaned up and freshen up the lower end.
Attached is a photo of the fun with Duplicolor event that was held tonight. Engine bay and strut towers were rust-inhibitor treated, primed and then painted. I might clear coat it. Maybe. The color kind-of close to the car's color. It's closer than the baby-sh!t blue it was before. It's "intense blue pearl" the chrysler color. It has the same paint code as the Kona Blue; so it'll do. Besides it'll be covered with various fluids soon enough.
Took some more photos with the better camera. I'll upload those when I get un-lazy.
