400 MOTOR COMING TOGETHER

Progress as of today...Parts are still at the powdercoat shop as well as the carb and alternator are being rebuilt....Whaddya think???

lookin good...what paint did you choose?

[72V21V25]

The intake, water pump and valve covers were powdercoated as well as the exhaust manifolds , brackets and pully's...The engine paint is a poly eurathane that was color matched by a local company..The paint is from U-TECH...Great stuff..Always looks wet and if ANYTHING gets on it you have plenty of time to wipe it off without hurting the finish..

cool deal, looks like you're a little ahead of me...all i've got left is fuel, water, and oil pumps, lifters, pushrods, and rockers, and then the intake left to put on...then, going in friday night

As of today...I have plans on having it Dyno'ed just to make sure its in top running condition with no leaks and partially broken in by the tme it lands back between the fenders..Best price I have got was 850 bucks plus fuel..I really dont know if that is good or not....I should have negotiated that in with the rebuild of the longblock..
