Everybodys engines look so *@#! good!

[Hollis]

Everybodys engines look so fckn nice, I don't think I'll ever get my 460 lookin good. It always gets rusted and pitted.
You guys are really an inspiration and quit frankly I don't know how you do it...! :coffeycup

I'm guessing your 460 is a Ford. I ran a BBf in the Hondo I sold a few years ago. The Ford is not the cleanest looking block. I have seen some cool looking plates mounted to the ends of the heads. These are soley used for cosmetics. They could be built from aluminum & polished or steel chromed.

hollis try to clean the block real good and use a good urethane paint on it with a shot of clear. resists rust and pitting and looks awsome. lasts years.

Were did you get that intake? Did you have it done or buy it like that? Looks great, good job!!

[Hollis]

Sanger Rat your my idol.... :cry:

[sanger rat]

Thank you guys. The intake is a Dart single plane. I think polishing sucks, so I painted the block with Chassis Saver paint( like POR15). All the blue I powder coated Candy blue over a Silver or polished base. Every thing you see was done by me over the winter. Just went for my first ride this year tonight. :)

This paint is the shiznit. I did a carb in Candy Apple red with it, looks like powdercoat without the prep and expense. I'm about to put a motor together and plan on using it again. 500 degrees/gas/oil resistant, but I bet an engine coat of clear wouldn't hurt either.
