[oldsmokey97]

As the title say.... here are some pics on an engine that I rebuilt for one of my good friends.
Stock rebuild with minor mods.

Mods are Big Stick cam, 14mm main studs, HD rod bolts, oringed and studded head with 60lbs valve springs, Tit. retainers and hardened keepers, 4k gsk, *18 timing.

Colors are Grave Digger Green (powder coated) and hammered metal silver from auto parts store.

It looks AWESOME in person and if my camera wasnt so cheap... it would have taken better pics also.

looks very nice!!! i really like the hammered paint-- easy to fix if it gets messed up as well

 

[oldsmokey97]

no kidding.

The paint looks like someone was spraying GOOD paint outside in a real bad fog or something. But.... when you really look at it up close, it looks badazz.

Looks good!You may want to put some clear engine enamle over the hammer tone, It melts right off with fuel and brake clean.

Very nice, you may want to block that back freeze plug before you install the motor easy to get to at this point and cheap insurance

Its a beatup 97 1-ton Ex. cab, black, with a flatbed on it.
I keep telling him its like hanging a chandelier in a $hithouse.

hey its not what the truck looks like its what is under the hood. that's how you surprise the corvettes and mustangs on the road.

Seeing all these prettied up engines make me wish I would of taken more time putting mine back together. Maybe this go around will be different, I'm definitely in no rush.
