Operation Desert Storm

Here's a little preview of what's happening. I had access to a sandblaster and cleaned some of the items up. Here's a preview of how one of the coolant pipes looks before getting engine enamel (gloss black by the way).




It's a big Difference from a finish like this:


Things are finally starting to come together. I have the parts ordered (All new seals/gaskets, valves and valve seals(already installed), head bolts, oil pump, hydraulic timing tensioner, piston rings, and all bearings). Block and several other parts have been sandblasted and are painted with engine enamel. I hope parts get here soon!
