Project "Clean Up" (pics)

[stackx2]

I know everybody on here like some pictures of projects so here's my little project I've got going. My engine had some bad seals and gaskets that needed to be fixed so rather than fix them in frame I decided to yank the engine. So I figured that while I have the engine out I would repaint my truck and engine bay. I'm Going to clean up my engine also And these are just some pictures of what I have going. I will update with more pictures as I go!

Before









Getting the engine bay preped for paint






More to come!!

Looking really good. Are you going back with the tan color? Reason I ask is because that truck would look sick with a gray or dark graphite gray and those flashy rims.

Keep up the great work.

Ya its getting its original color again, but it is probably going to get some dark grey for something a bit different.

Getting ready to pull the cam.

Lookin good. What injectors were you runnin? Gonna keep em?

 

[stackx2]

Thanks! I was running pod's. I was either thinking of swapping the nozzles to the ppump bodies or running the stock injectors until I can afford new ones.
