Cool! looks great. What are the spec on the engine?

 

Perfect!! Excellent start.

 

I sure love a motor when it's all clean and new and purty, congrats, just like a new baby...lol.

 

It seems like it was just yesterday(2 years ago) that I was at the same point in my build. It sure is pretty just the way it sits. Too bad you have to add on all of the clutter to make that thing work.

 

Congrats! She looks good!

 

She looks very nice. I Love that color, what is it?

 

Not fare! I want one too. Are you sure you dont want to adopt a 60 year old kid and move to calif? I promiss to be a good boy. OKKKK, I understand you already have a great son. On the serious side, congratulations on your cool *** motor. Great addition to your prodject, keep the pictures a commin.

 

Thanks guys. My son and I are psyched! Should get the tranny back next week and the frame back from powder coating the week after that. Then it's reassembly time!

Harrier, the color is Ford's Dark Blue PM (pearl metallic I think is what the PM stands for). The paint code is DX, whatever that means. Anyway it is the same color dark blue Ford uses on this year's F series trucks. We considered Ford's "Kona Blue" but in some light at some angles it looks purplish. Didnt care for it. So the body and interior will be painted the same color. Should be sweet.

That is sweet. Congratulations on the milestone. Keep up the good work.

 

Sweeeeet indeed, Tyler! Looks fabulous. My 2010 F150 is the same DX color code...Dark Blue Pearl. Love the color. Can't wait to see it installed on the fresh chassis and a little more shiney stuff hangin' off of it. Thanks for sharing.

 

I wondered when you would pop back in and update us! That's really nice!

 

Very nice looking motor. I also like the color, really makes the shiny stuff stand out.

 

Looking good Tyler - Those are nice valve covers.
We didn't paint our engine - man your's looks good!
Did you save a before pic of the inside of your engine?
That would be nice to see the side by side...

Did your engine guy give you any feedback on what was causing your problems??
