Thank both of you guys for dropping in and for your comments Bruce and Kari.

Looking great Joe! Brings me back to the days of a couple of Maverick guys with massive engines crammed in them running up and down the main drag in town.... One with a really ugly homemade "mailbox" on the hood to make it look like he had a high rise intake on it... there wasn't...

LOL!!! I saw that kind of stuff in my hometown as well. The things that people do sometimes.....

Ok gang....I managed to get the wheels coated in Molotow and the tires all decaled and completed. I didn't use the front wheels with the Molotow on them in the following pictures because this stuff has a minimum cure out of 48 hours. The rears I could handle somewhat because of the dish in the wheels but here's where we're at right now with the wheels/ tires.





and then I found my headers that are going to give me the perfect clearance. I just cut the flanges off of them and modified the header extensions on the Jo-Han headers to match up with the headers and we're all set. Another major hurdle of this build overcome.

Looks beautiful! You were the one who taught me to use Molotow for wheels! Great paint. Delicate, though. I am attaching some reference. Do you know if the engine block was Ford Engine Blue or not?

Thanks a lot Bruce. Those two pictures will help with a couple of questions I had in regards to the details on this engine. No Ford Blue on this one. Just black and grey/ magnesium color.

I debated about including this image but it may be useful. I am sure you have the actual photo of the engine... well I’m not sure!
