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!

Looking good Sam! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

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? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif
