[uofom3]

nice dude.. when are you putting the head on?

[MR 325]

Still have to paint the head and put it back together, hopefully soon though

[golde30]

looks good, just doin a refresh/rebuild? cam?

[Digitalwave]

It's... bright...

[MR 325]

...SHould have the bottom end fully assembled tonight and will work on the head tomorrow

[Dave]

What's up with the Ford blue? Is the head going to be the same color?

[MattE30]

Trying to have the motorsport color scheme for your engine?

[MR 325]

It's a bit darker than the pics show because of my flash.

It's GM blue and is VERY similar to Baby-Blue

No scheme for the motor, just blue and yes the head will be blue too

[greateratlanta]

Looks like the same color VAC motorsports paints their race motors.

[UNHCLL]

did you use just regular oil to assemble the lower end?
its also awesome that you have overspray in essentail sealing areas!!!

[MR 325]

It's not my first time building a motor man, and a certified mechanic [friend] is helping with a lot of it.

What areas might you be referring to?

And no I used assembly lube for bearings etc and Lucas to do the pistons.

[UNHCLL]

cool, good job then!
some serious pride in doing your own work and not just cutting a check.

[MR 325]

Agreed

Nice.

I'm going ford red when I rebuild mine.

Hell, I even want to chrome the intake manifold like some of those crazy jerks on e30.de.
