Happy Friday Mornin'all. I could get used to these 3 day work weeks. I was able to paint my engine and install the injection system. Waiting for parts. A couple more weekends, and she'll be ready to install this spring. Have a great day guy's.

Oh and I found out my dogs like Jube Jubes lol. It's actually quite funny watching the dogs try and eat them.

Morning all...its a cold one here...and I have snow to clear. I think I'll leave it until spring...

JuJubees are funny when they get stuck on the pups teeth. They make pretty hilarious faces trying to get them off.

Stay warm everyone!!

Good job on that engine Grant, I always like to see a Motorcraft oil filter on a Ford! What brand of paint did you use, was it in a spray can?

Just Dupli-Color Ford Blue High Heat Engine Enamel. I cleaned the block with a wire wheel in a angled die grinder (very little oil on block). Degreased it with brake clean, then gave it about 5 coates. I used the aluminum colored engine enamel on the intake, and Rust Tough on the black painted parts. I'm waiting for my block hugger header's (the one's on the engine are spare Mustang unit's), alt and p/s bracket's', EGR delete plate, and a 90 deg thermostat housing. I'm also waiting for an engine lift plate, so I can paint the bottom of the oil pan. I should have left my truck at work this winter, but Dawn would kill me. Any spare time on the weekend's, I spend at work, cleaning and painting part's.

I like Dupli-Color too.
I made an engine lift plate that bolts to the 4 carb studs on the intake, I was a bit worried doing it that way since I thought the studs might break but they held.

I was going to make my own for the EFI manifold (because they're over $60.00 from Jegs and Summit), but The Car Shop had them on for $30.00 at just before Christmas, so I ordered one from them. I'll be lifting the engine/trans, and they say no problem. I really don't like to buy a tool or piece of equipment to do a job probably just once, but i'll have it in case someone else needs it.

Wow Grant!! That looks awesome. Looks like it should be on display somewhere, not in use in a truck lol.

She's a cold one this am Boys. -32/-43. Yep...Went for a 30 mile ride on the sled yesterday. It wasn't as cold as I expected, but I couldn't move very fast due to all my bundles lol.

My Inlaws are off to Laos this am. Father in law's brother and wife moved over there a few years ago so they're going to see them. While I'm tempted to enjoy a warm holiday this year, that wouldn't be my choice Gonna try to do some more insulating to my little garage today.

Have a good day everyone!!

Edit... someone rep Grant for the paint job for me...I'm in rep jail.
