Here's the color the shortblock is going to be.. Really beautiful color in real life! It's mixed together by some different colors I had left from other things I've paintet in the past and think it ended up very well.. :-)
I mixed the color today and hope to paint the block in this weekend :-)

The shortblock is now paintet, I did in a couple of hours and I am happy with the result.. I like the gray metallic color, it gives it a more modern look I think.
Here are some pictures of before, with primer and with paint and clear on :-)

I think you could have painted it purple and it would still look great! I like the color.

Haha, glad to hear, I'm not the only one who is crazy.. I just can't control it when I get started, I love it! Next step is to get the Milodon oil pan paintet, because the gold galvanized color it has, does not match any more..
By the way, it sounds like a cool engine project! Do you have some pictures of the engine?

Valve covers and PCV system have changed a bit, doing some additional wiring clean up and I need to pull the oil pan and replace the rear main seal as it is leaking. I had hoped it would stop, but it appears it will only stop if I run out of oil
Word to the wise-don't expect a 600 horsepower high revving small block to hook up with a manual transmission, 3.89 gears and street tires without heavy suspension modification-even then you'll probably be disappointed.
"I love my Hookers!" and "Get some Strange" probably have a different connotation to non automotive enthusiasts!
