Engine progress

Last week, I shipped off the EGR intake and valve cover for powder coating by Specialty Powder Coating in Zephyrhills, FL.

It's amazing how a person, whom I have met once many years before starting her business, and known mostly online through UCORA, can have earned my trust and respect in the powder coating business. Bonnie is a person of great trust and I have my greatest confidence in her work.

Keeping with my vow to support those who have sorted UCORA over the years, Specialty Powder Coating is taking care of the crown of my engine build. I'd you have any powder coating needs, I fully recommend Bonnie to everyone.

In other news, I have also begun cleaning and getting the exhaust manifold ready to paint. I wad given an aftermarket exhaust which I don't even know the brand,  but as long add I can get some minor repairs on it completed, it will look great in this motor.

What's this? More progress finally!

Well, it has been too long since working on the project, but I am not giving up.   Today, some work was done on the engine while it was out.  Not giving it away, but here are the parts removed so far...

and since the wind is blowing here in AZ as usual, I had to cover and seal the motor from dirt.

More to come, I promise.  I am wanting so bad to get this thing done.
