Im just finishing up my new engine and I couldnt resist taking a few pics even though I have some work left.







Kinda goes with my cars paint and all

After looking at the pics I better touch up the paint on the engine bay while Im in there

 

Man, that looks smooth.

 

You need to get the rest of those pics on a cd for me

After searching this forum for intake pics Ive decided that those stainless bolts are one of the best apperance mods in those pics. The sock bolts are

Keep in mind that I also have otvc wires in red

 

ummmm perfection? yes thats perfection.... please tell me how u did this and how hard it was..... i want to do the same thing but blue and black instead of red and black.....

that is one of the best engine paint i have ever seen i think im in love!

 

I want 1

 

Wow, thanks

Well, its been completely rebuilt, and its easy when its apart. I first wanted to have the intake and valve covers coated with a heat dispersing coating, untill I found out it was a dull black color. I think that would look like *** if oil ever got on it (would get spotty and all). Then I thought maybe powdercoating. But that actually holds heat in. So I decided on regular ol high temp engine paint.

I painted the valve covers black (so they look fresh), and the intake red. Then I used cotton swabs to paint the black in on the top of the intake. The block was black when I got it back from VRE, and the pan is red from Moroso. A local place ceramic coated my headers (they are badass, wont rust like jethot), and I painted my k member (black), steering shaft (silver), and hvac box (black) when the engine was out. I think Im gonna take some more time now to touch up the other red in the engine bay as well before I put the rest of the engine together and put the radiator in. Might as well when its easy to get too

I guess I might as well paint the water pump housing red too. It would look pretty cool with the black electric water pump on it.

 

Very nice, I am jealous.

 

Looking good Josh, who's rockers are those?

 

Josh,
HERE are some more pics of your build.

 

attention to detail........ thats key

 

FANTASTIC JOB! Looks very good. Keep 'em clean.

 

It's about time! J/K. Looks like you'll beat me finishing up your project. I'm waiting for a shop to finish up my block, and I've removed the old block from the bay. BTW, what type of k member are you running? You're almost there man!

 

Those are Crower .150 offset RR's. The Jegs brand RR's that I planned on buying were on back order forever. The only other option I saw was shaftmounts which were pricey.

Here is a better pic of my car for your gallery:



There are more here: http://rides.webshots.com/album/472525575VbOOrd Some of those the lighting is off because my old computer monitor sucked and I had to lighten all the pics to see them
