My engine is finally ready.

I just finished getting my motor put together and couldn't resist sharing with you guys.

I might be changing the air cleaner, not sure yet. I wish I had a buffing wheel to polish all the aluminum.

Re: My engine is finally ready.

dam you stole my color idea I used the VHT black wrinkle on the block (looks BA) and wheel silver on all my acc. brackets, valve covers,trans and I'm watching the paint dry on the oil pan now!!..I plan on a little header wrap in the exhaust pipe for a little tougher look and to keep the starter Kool then a set of new Accel Yellow wires ( but I need to learn the zip tie plug wire trick) hopefully I can find a Big Yellow Accel coil at the next swap meet!!

try a little FLITZ to ploish your stuff it works killer and is easy to use by hand..I havn't done my air cleaner yet but have used it a ton of times on other stuff

any other Ideas on trick Ideas I'm open

Re: My engine is finally ready.

Mullit: Yes they are Hedman Headers got them from Summit Part # HED-69648.

TVBlazer78: Thanks. Its a 406 SBC. No im not trying to copy you its just that great minds think alike! LOL. I had it in a 62 Biscayne I had and sold , the guy wanted to put a 409 in it so he didn't want the engine. It's basicaly stock except for the cam (mild don't have specs) Edelbrock Performer intake, Carter AFB, kick out milodon pan. It has about 2500 miles.

Hottrucks: The color is Gloss Black engine paint from Autozone. I plan on using spark plug wire seperators from an early 60's corvette they tuck the spark plug wires behind the engine and run dwn the sides of the oil pan and up to the spark plugs. I think it looks cleaner that way.
