Dang man I didn't know you had a thread going for the 80. I've missed out! Also thought when you told me about the engine it was for the 66 not the 80. See what happens when you don't pay attention!

joe231 · 05-26-2009, 05:39 PM

pay attention!!

joe231 · 05-27-2009, 07:54 AM

I was running all the bad scenarios through my head while doing it and was ready to

at any moment

luckily it all worked out

JohnC · 05-27-2009, 08:33 AM

What's so crazy about it? It has wheels, and is obviously meant for an engine to be on it?

joe231 · 05-27-2009, 09:22 AM

good point!

joe231 · 06-07-2009, 08:01 PM

here is what it looks like now, thanks to lots of clean up with my angle die grinder with roloc discs, and my wife's rattle can skills

Looks nice! Wanna swing by and clean my 5.3?

What final color are you going to use on the motor? (Of course, that's assuming that the gray is primer...)

joe231 · 06-07-2009, 09:09 PM

took me most of the weekend to re-seal it and clean, then Megan painted...

that isn't primer, it is engine paint, and that is the color it is gonna be. water pump, brackets, and manifolds will all be black.

this is the color I wanted, but couldn't find anything in a rattle can locally

pokethesmot · 06-07-2009, 09:44 PM

joe231 · 06-07-2009, 10:32 PM

that is an original '65 oil bath air cleaner

scotts62 · 06-07-2009, 10:57 PM

hey you wanna blast some exhaust manifolds for me?

I got the 200r4 trans, think I'm going to need a longer drive-shaft too......

the guy with the 700r4 is supposed to let me know something today, and I will let you know

JohnC · 06-08-2009, 08:39 AM

That looks great man! That color will work really well with the exterior of the truck too. Give Megan props for her painting skills, but to be careful. There are quite a few guys on here needing stuff painted.

Oh and you used the wrong emoticon.. earlier puff, puff, pass bro
