Tomorrow will be paint for the engine, and getting the valve springs changed and the heads back on the engine. I will snap some pics of the blower as well for all to see. (and yes...I am keeping it. LMAO)

 

nice knowing that Grip's Maggie ended up somewhere it belongs! You'll love it!

Can't wait to see how this build comes out!

 

Cant wait to see this build!

 

More progress today...

I swapped over the Patriot Gold valvesprings first


Big difference here from stock...



Then I spent a ton of time cleaning the engine, heads, and valve covers by hand



Masked off for paint



The heads are 706's

 

Got the primer on, and I can see a huge difference already

second coat

decided to go with the stock black, but gloss for some additional shine.

third and final coat

 

I unwrapped the blower today as well. It needs to be cleaned up a bit, but I will get to that later before I install it. Here are some teaser pics.

Foamy Engine Brite....still the best stuff!
