happy mother fucking birthday to me!!!!!!!
































guess it helps when this is the 5th motor you've run thru him + who knows how many odd jobs

son of a skeet skeet. fresh engines always look so good. Totally jelly.

Talk about bargain priced.. Nice!!

i did some rough math and it would have been closer to $650 had he charged me full price for it all



customer loyalty for the win!

Fresh head. Always pleasing!

Gotta love good deals! This motor is gonna be soo epic... Will it get neon green block paint??!!

Got the old piston rings taken off, the wrist pins removed then reinstalled and lubed




Before and after cleaning and lube


Cleaned up the dizzy


Cleaned up the oil filter extender thing....


Then it was onto one of my favorite parts of a motor build!

Paint!






High heat primer




And then black!!!! Ended up going with a gloss black to match the black powder coat that's going on the oil pan




Yummy!

Just read through your build thread Adam, and it so reminds me of when I was wrench'n on my first 510s. Good Times! Only difference is, looks like you're actually doing shit right the first time. I wasn't that smart.

I'm looking forward to watching this truck come together. Should be a kick ass hauler.

I've regretted some of my engine paint color choices over the years. But never regretted black. Great at hiding road grime and those little oil seeps that show up over time. Looks good. Keep going.

Thanx, I always seem to take things to far... But I regret them less than when I don't go far enough....

That was the idea this time around.... I need an easy to clean block for taking it to shows and get togethers.

omnomnomonfodmafdlsfdsklf damnit

I'm jelly, yo. looks awesome so far!

Aren't you supposed to be looking at this in person, Timmay?

eh?

I went to vancouver, and came home. Didn't make it to B-town.

wow! you didnt mess around with this thing! its inspiring! hmmm.... mayby i should build an LZ for the truck

Seeing the old green block compared to the gloss black... Gotta say great choice. Chrome black and green... Epic winning

My block is semi gloss black. I cant rag on you too much.

Got the Lmotor and 5speed out!









Sold em both today!

Made a quick $600 and I've still got a match box to sell and a brand new drive line to sell.
