ya, still need to do a good cleaning... some dirt left to srub but not bad. The under hood and wheel wells are being painted next week, and I still need to do something about the booster.

Custom 68 · 05-07-2003, 09:13 AM

looks good. Are you going to put in an HEI while you have it out?

bouncytruck · 05-07-2003, 12:22 PM

Did you pull the engine to clean it/paint it?

Warbones · 05-07-2003, 08:47 PM

I was like dang, that is a difference! I had to keep scrolling back and forth between the two. LOL
What camera did you use? Pictures look great.

miket · 05-07-2003, 08:58 PM

miket · 05-07-2003, 09:01 PM

and before....

FILICE72C10 · 05-07-2003, 09:10 PM

To answer a few questions, it is a new chevy crate motor. The only thing that is new is the block, the AC is original, I repainted the manifold and all the other engine brakets, valve covers, etc... An yes I did add an HEI while at it. I will post the finished pics this weekend once the wheel wells are in and painted.

As for the camera, i have a sony DSC-P3. I took the picture at the highest setting 2.8 mp then used a picture program to convert it to a web format. The program is on my work computer so I dont know the name or even how I got it. I have had the camera for about 1 year now and it works great, it also does digital video and audio.
