Alright, washed the block and
oil pan thoroughly, cleaned all
oil passages and lifter/cylinder bores using a engine brush kit and some detergent. Installed all the
oil galley plugs and freeze plugs. Taped everything off and prepped the surfaces with acetone and a foam brush. Painted it using Cerakote Burnt Bronze ceramic coating. Came out awesome.
Hopefully this weekend will get the shortblock built. Gotta order a couple little things, timing cover, some gaskets, head stud kit. Once I get all that then I should be complete with the long block.....then its time to decide what induction to use. Definately going to be 8 stack efi of some sort.
