Well, I am moving along. I did clean engine very good. Flushed with power washer for a long time. Took about 1/2-45 min to run clean. Started to flash rust. Sprayed inside pistons, lifters with wd40. Cleaned motor externally and painted.
I know, its not blue or gray, but I love Chevy red-orange.
Ran taps thru all threads. Still looking into replacing crank from spun bearing. Going to take apart head next. I will keep you all posted. I process of searching for T5 trans. Not easy.
Here are some pics of painted block...
