Here it is before the removal....Lots of dirt and grease.

Blue4x4 · 07-02-2004, 11:20 PM

here it is Almost finished. Still need to cut off the extra 1/4 rod on the air cleaner, and get a new alt. It has been broken in.

Blue4x4 · 07-02-2004, 11:25 PM

Also need to et a smaller air cleaner. The engine is a 350 .30 over. New cam, pisons,rods and more. Got a steal on the rebuild....$452.00. The builder needed Heat and ac in house. So we just swapped labor and paid for parts.

Hey great work! What a huge difference. Just curious how you get your hood closed with that super-duper length of all-thread? (LOL)

Very nice engine BLUE!!!! Hope it runs well for ya. Yeah, it's great when we can make decent trades like that. Helps us poor folks out sometimes knowing a little trade here and there!!!~~~good luck with it.

Very nice. I'd stick with that air cleaner, looks fine to me.

You just shut the hood and spin the wing nut down to the top of the hood.

Looks great ,too bad my motor looks like the B4 pic.

The fire wall was painted with Tintable "Hippo liner" (bed linner). For $80.00 you get everything you need...even the spray gun.Dries to the touch in 3 hours. Fully cures in 24 hours.

Hippo Liner huh. Did you choose to only do the firewall, or did you do the inner fenders to match? It looks pretty nice, would love more information and closer pics if you have any. Being meant for bed liner, I bet it holds up well to heat and oil etc... Nice choice, but wonder how hard it would be to remove down the road

KILLER ENGINE THOUGH!!
