Here is some more progress pics and I got the engine back yesterday! Engine was clean as a pin inside and was in great shape, just updated some stuff and painted it, new headers and carb!

Jtrux · 03-28-2008, 07:51 AM

Looks good which headers are those?

**bigdon-70blazer** · 03-28-2008, 02:33 PM

Hedman headers. Thanks!

72BlckButy · 03-28-2008, 02:55 PM

That thing looks better everytime you post... lookin' good!

bigdon I'm currently in Poplar Bluff. The trip was kind of last minute, so I hated calling incase you had other things going on. I should have another trip in the next couple of weeks, so I'll give you a call, and maybe I'll be able to check out your Blazer.

**lks dcvn** · 03-28-2008, 03:17 PM

Looks Good!

tcb-1 · 03-28-2008, 03:43 PM

the engine looks even better than you described on the phone!!! very nice! the Hedmans should give you a nice increase in hp and torque. looks like a 650 or 700 Holley????

and it goes without saying, the body is coming out beautifully! Rayburn takes his time, but it's soooooo worth it!

Nice!!!! I like those black headers. What did you use for paint on the block, heads, and manifold? I'm getting close to painting mine. Thanks

**bigdon-70blazer** · 03-29-2008, 06:07 AM

A buddy of mine did the engine paint job after changing a few gaskets and such. He use a hi temp paint brand name VHT , Chevy orange...He got it an O'Reilly's Auto Parts store. Thanks for the kudos!

Chevyman63 · 03-29-2008, 02:18 PM

Wow, they both look great! What color are you going with?

**bigdon-70blazer** · 03-29-2008, 02:33 PM
