More parts clean-up, sanding & painting…

 
The water pump arrived from Chevy Cool in Scottsdale

More clean-up of the intake manifold

Prep’ing for paint

Chevy orange going on…

Good ‘ol 1620

Painting the water neck as well….

Engine assembly & intake manifold work…

Engine block is boiled, honed & ready

Camshaft, crankshaft, timing chain, oil pump & correct Cylinder Heads are all installed

Found a correctly dated/correct part # intake manifold on eBay

It needed some clean-up, but it’s the correct intake manifold

More parts rebuild, sandblast, powder coat, etc.

 

It’s the correct starter, but in desperate need of a rebuild!

2 days later: Boom! San Jose Generator is the best! New brushes, drive gear & solenoid

More parts for sand blast (exhaust manifolds) and sand blast/powder coat (everything else)

Santa Clara Powder Coating parts drop-off
