My engine is painted and getting close to going in. Even though it is a 352 Caribbean engine, I chose to paint it red so it sort of looks like it belongs (the intake & valley pan were already painted) and besides, Ivory really is an inane color for an engine. Hey, am I right?
The old engine may have been on the ground already but I was definitely in a "clean" mood today....I wonder if the manual trans should come out first or if I should just slide the engine forward & out?
The new gasket punch kit is a blast & attached is a photo of the fuel pump gasket. The water manifold gaskets were fun too.
Progress.
