there's always ways around e-testing, either an "expensive e-test" or have it listed as "modified" ( I assume you were planning on a sbc) either way you can get through emissions

Mcfly Minis · 04-04-2007, 09:25 AM

Motor looks 1000 times better.

thingsthatfly2 · 04-04-2007, 11:02 PM

the dia grinder works great striped half the block with 1" knot wire wheel (22000 rpm) but wore it out. i cant find any more around here so i had to get brass ones (4500 rpm) takes for ever.

blackblazer717 · 04-09-2007, 06:07 PM

looks good, be sure to change the stupid valve cover gaskets on that 2.8, mine leaked like a worn out whore, til i changed them.... keep your cleaned up motor from gittin cruddy again.

TRWW · 04-10-2007, 11:02 PM

I wouldn't worry about the Drill its from P-auto they take anything back...lol..trucks lookin good

dragsdaily · 04-11-2007, 08:56 PM

well it rained today

and its cold. so i did some call around about engine paint.

-duplicolor said to sand blast the block or sand it with 80 grit then paint and bake or run the engine for 1/2 to hour to cure it. good to 500 degs.

-plasta-kote said to clean the block of all oil and dirt. paint the block. the paint is oil resistent but they said not to let oil or gas sit on it will discolor. good to 500 degs.

-my fav POR15 engine enamel its just like painting a frame reg por15 (black) but one coat then top coat it with the color i want. and the best part is it is good to 600 degs.

so since i have all of the por15 marine wash, metal ready, and por15 paint. i am going have bulletproof the engine paint.

Por15 Engine Painting Kit

2 LayLo · 04-11-2007, 09:35 PM
