No I'm not going with the red... I like the purple with some black so I'm going to get crazy with the plum[emoji16]

The only 2k primer my local supplier had in stock at the time was yellow unfortunately...  I had to get the bare metal covered.

I agree: You've got some ugly work behind you already.

Been working on it for a while... just recently found this forum and want to share progress photos. Hopefully I'll put up something that may be helpful to someone else's project.

This 440 was the plan. Very clean inside an a forged crank. I should have kept it.

You're making nice progress in a relatively short time.   What plans, if any, do you have around adding some frame stiffening like subframe connectors?   I made my life a bit more complicated by deciding late to add the stiffening components.   Everything I used was from US Car Tool - good stuff.

No plans for any frame work at this time. That's some more project I'm not even thinking about... ill probably be happy If it's ever a driveable car I can take down the road.

That 440 would have been a nice fit, so you got rid of it?

 I got a deal on this I just couldn't pass up. I really didn't like those blue rocker cover hold downs so I made a set from 6061 aluminum. When I changed  To a center sump oil Pan I noticed the timing gears and I really didn't want that either so Itgot a nice double roller chain.  Then there is a little modification for the oil pick up... the block was drilled for 1/2"inch pick up so I just modified the one I had.[emoji16][emoji482]
