I thought I'd get the new (old) block cleaned up a little better, so I took it off the stand (finally!)and threw it into the blast cabinet. Thought I'd share the results after round one (if you haven't seen the before pic of the block, it's last appearance was on page 13 - or
http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ots-30442.html)
So, here's the block - don't know when I'll have time for round two (but I am on layoff / lack of work so we'll see!)
Front:
Timing Belt / Water Pump side:
Bell housing side - OOPS - I'll hit it hard in round 2:
Back:
Right now, I'm thinking of powdercoating the block just like the tranny - we'll see what I can make happen ( if it's free, I'm doing it! )
That's enough for today, I'm hungry
Skiddy drives, so this motor will be built at my "leisure" anyway. That doesn't mean tax time isn't right around the corner - be patient, Skiddy...
Thanks,
