460 engine rebuild
I'll probably get death threats for this, but here it is. I just wanted an orange engine 
I just picked it up from the machine shop today.

Looks good, did the same stuff I did except I used a stealth intake. Not sure if I am goin to paint it though. I'm kind of lazy and dont really want to clean the motor.

looks good. gives me ideas.hmmm
I love the stainless 12 pt fasteners - I got them too. What are the specs for the truck its going into?
You also installed the adjustable or at least pre 1970 style timing chain right?
Looks good, painted mine yellow with black pan and valve covers.

Seeing your motor has prompted me to get off my but and clean mine up. Still not sure if I'll paint the intake and valve covers separately though. I may just put everything on and hose it with some ford blue.

yah...I tried cleaning it, but the motor was so gunked up I figured I'd leave it for the machine shop. I figured fixing up an old truck was a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new 3/4 ton and I just don't like the new ones anyway.
like what?
1984 F-250, Dana 70 rear, A/C, 2 wheel drive, ummm...what else do you wanna know? I like the fasteners too...I figured wth.
Yes sir. It was an engine pro set up. I read on here about the earlier set up and talked to the guy at the machine shop. I thought it was +8/-8 and he thought +4/-4. Not sure which one though.
Nice! I was worried I was going to get banned for painting mine C%*&Y orange...or at the very least it would start a small revolt. If it makes anyone feel any better...I have two inline six 292's that I'm going to paint CAT yellow

Old cat yellow or new cat golden yellow..? both sound like a good choice. thought mine would really stand out.. but so much crap on top, of motor ( ac. lines, rad. hoses, air intake snorkel plug and vacum lines. ) it is almost hidden away... but it looked great on the engine stand.lol
