Not a good pic, but from my cellphone before totally complete. I can try and get a better one when I get my camera back from Canon.



It now has a grey dist. cap which matches better and my spark plugs are not painted blue lol.

Heres the underhood on my '75 F250 "Monster Tigger" It was taken before all the wiring was fully dressed in. After repolishing in the spring I'll get some better ones up.





Engine block was media blasted, ground smooth, cleaned, Epoxy Primed, Sealed, and painted with the same base/clear thats on the Outside of The truck. the ONLY problems to surface to far, is the ears of the head where it meets the Exhaust Manifold (its an FE Motor..) have cracked. That is the only spot however.

Hope you like em!

Here was my first attempt at a nice looking eng. compartment. I wasn't quite finished with it, I never did 100% finish, and when I was close, I blew the motor up, tore it apart, thus no other pictures. This setup is not as fancy as the others I have seen, but it was nice, stock-ish looking, and made good power.

Not quite finished with my 76 Crew, but this is the original 390--after a rebuild with 360 pistons, Crane cam, a little paint and powdercoat.
