Hotrod70C10 · 11-21-2003, 01:12 PM

Looking good! I'm planning on painting my motor the same blue as my truck.

Keep us posted man!

jcab · 11-21-2003, 07:02 PM

DanoDMano · 11-21-2003, 08:22 PM

I think I know how to use Easy Off better than my wife now!!
Man does it work great for grease removal. (I wont tell her though...)

*dtlilly* · 11-21-2003, 08:57 PM

From greece to glamour, that will look real good

griesel72 · 11-21-2003, 09:36 PM

That looks really good. I think you will really like motor the same color as your truck with a whole lotta chrome

DanoDMano · 11-21-2003, 10:18 PM

I bought a black HEI Cap, and I bought the Taylor hot orange plug wires. I hope it aint too much, but I wont know til I try I guess. I also have the braided hose set, polished Holley, performer intake, and chrome timing and tranny pan.

Any thing else that I should chrome??

Denny · 11-21-2003, 11:38 PM

Its going to look real sharp dano

bow-tie-bandit · 11-22-2003, 12:48 AM

This is too wierd. My wife just came in as I am reading this thread and said she is going to get some oven cleaner and clean the oven before she cooks the turkey for thanksgiving. Now I imagine my oven a chevy orange color. LOL Your truck looks great and you are doing a fine job on the engine. Good luck on dropping it back in.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-22-2003, 01:05 AM

That look's good what did you use to clean it?? I use oven cleaner ,but super claen is slowly getting the nod fo cleaning part's around here.

DanoDMano · 11-22-2003, 01:20 AM

I scrubbed on it with degreaser and a scraper and just kind of pushed the grease around. Some guys here on the board recommended easy off and voila' it just hosed right off!!

Its clean enough to cook a turkey off it now!!

Any recommendations on what to do with the waterpump?? I cleaned and sandblasted it. Should I just clear coat it with the some rattle can, or paint it black??

723/4tontank · 11-22-2003, 01:30 AM

Paint the water pump to match the engine. Thats what I did on mine. I looks good!

djracer · 11-22-2003, 04:55 PM

How many miles are on the engine and did you do a compression check on it before pulling it. I had a 307 that ran decent with a 2bbl. I bought a 4 barrell and an intake and put it on only to find out that the motor was tired. I then changed it out for agood vortec 350. I'd hate to see you go this far to find out it needs rings and bearings.

DanoDMano · 11-22-2003, 11:50 PM

Yeah the compression was good, and it already had a 4 barrel on it. I got it all together tonight, but cant reduce the image size with the software on my home PC.

Would someone maybe do this if I e-mail the images to you??

Thanks!

jorgensensc · 11-23-2003, 12:01 AM

You can resize with microsoft paint. That is standard on a windows install..

DanoDMano · 11-23-2003, 12:34 AM

Yeah I am familiar with Paint, but I have never been able to use it to compress my file size. How do you do that??

jorgensensc · 11-23-2003, 12:45 AM

open the file, go to
image then stretch /skew
then resize the horizontal and vertical and change the numbers (they must be the same) I change mine to 25 on both)
Then go to attributes and check and make sure it is smaller than 640x480
Hope this helps a little!
Shawn

DanoDMano · 11-24-2003, 09:24 PM

Here is the latest photo. I installed my new stall convertor, bolted up the tranny and have it hanging on the hoist waiting to go in tomorrow!!

I just have to pressure wash my engine compartment and paint a little gloss black on the firewall!!
