The motor looks great Sean! I'll get her installed and once I get Redbone done for the year apperance wise I'll get some pictures sent to you. I'll have to get it together fast as I have a 3000 trip at the end of May and want to do plenty of "testing" before hand!unk:This picture sucks but you get the idea. Wait until he gets it installed and washes off the shop dust.

Wait until Brian gets some pics that aren't so white washed to really get an idea how nice it came out. Nothing much different other then left the "fins" unpainted. We beadblast the engine (with plastic media) then take it right to the body shop where they detack it and paint it within a few days or less normally. If we do any testing to a built up engine we do that prior to the bead blast / paint work so there are no greases or oils that the painter has to deal with. I could go another step further and that would be to sand the castings smooth to really get a killer finish but that's a hell of a lot a work.

I've got to put together the tractor puller engine maybe get started on it this weekend. Got n4topspd's engine to get started on (trans is getting shipped out today!). Then a 1500 for Jim P (1967Vmax) to have done by Topeka (should be picking up the prepped block today or early next week). Then getting a 1327 that was blown up I think on Monday and will try to get that engine all prepped and ready!
Almost forgot - I finished fixing one that had fallen off a shipping pallet that broke about every stinking cover on it (and some other misc). It's at the paint stripper now.
Plus, getting a 1998 delivered to the house I am going to clean up and maybe resell to a local guy and try and fix the guys bike that is delivering that one for me.
Of course still try and keep up with everyone elses stuff lol. Don't anyone else blow one up for a little bit.
Mark may want to trade in his before it blows up! Need to build him one and just send it to him! I think I am going to have to do that for Kevin too so he'll actually quit beating on his.
