Seven hours today - doing just that. NOT TRADITIONAL! I'm going to take a major load of crap for this, but the block's Navy gray - In honor of my Dad, who passed away a while ago and was an MCPO. Flat black pan, Chrome valve covers, gray block and intake manifold.
BTW: Is there a
torque pattern for the 2-barrel intake manifold for a 65' 283 SBC?
A couple of disappointments when inspecting the long block during my paint work today: #1. All the hardware at the oil filter port is gone, including the male pipe thread fitting. #2. The push rod for the fuel pump isn't in the block.
Is this normal after an engine rebuild? I don't want to start a stink if it isn't warranted.
