Today I installed my F cam, timing chain, lifters, oil pan with new 1 pc gasket. I also degreased and painted the block with high temp black enamel paint.

Jonathan got some parts back from powder coating.
A little more body work has been done. Progress has slowed a bit due to Jonathan starting a new job.

Subscribing to this thread!

Where did you go for your powder coating and how are their prices?

I fail at posting via my cell phone.

The powder coating was done in Franklin, by one of Jonathans past employers. I think its called Midstate sand blasting and painting. I am sure Jonathan will chime in eventually.

I chose to go with 13'' 03-04 Cobra brakes in front and rear.The whole rear conversion was not the funnest! It took me a while!
