Yeah, I was reluctant to paint it but I just couldn't get into the tighter parts with the wire wheel. I agree that powdercoating would probably be the best way, but paint was only $10 :).
Your engine isn't looking too shabby either!

I see... Let us know how it holds up on the hotter parts. I think I'm gonna soda blast my stuff or powder coat it all black, cast aluminum parts just don't stay super clean.Leave a comment:

The intake, t-stat housing and oil dick-thing were painted with Duplicolor metal flakes; the timing covers and pan were just wire wheeled.Leave a comment:

A have a few small updates.
Got my driveshaft situation under control. The one from my e28 was too long, and I was having no luck finding one from an 87e, so I decided to get the e28 one shortened. I was expecting to have to pay out the ass, but it was only $90! I still need a shifter support and csb before I put it in though.
I had the mechanic from our marina come over this morning to help me with the wiring. Between him, Mike and my Dad, I think we have it figured out. I just need to finish up soldering up a few wires before I can start it. Woo!
And my new wheels got here today! I felt I would have a need for more traction, think these will work?
