Started a few weeks ago with doing the valve seals and lower intake gasket....I had cleaned up the motor a bit previously but it still had a long ways to go.

So....


Shy of pulling the motor I cleaned it up the best I could for now, I will tackle more later, but wanted it running again.


Here is a before/after slide show shot from when I bought the car 2yrs ago

I bead blasted all the accessories and then painted them.

I used

Duplicolor Engine Enamels w/ceramic
DE 1615 Aluminum
DE 1635 Ford Semi-Gloss Black

SEM ProMax XRP Gunmetal SEM64063 to match the powder coated valve covers I bought from someone on FEP.
