The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Progress

A few pictures of some progress, I have been degreasing and cleaning and painting. I opted to piant it GM Blue as opposed to the lighter blue. I am waiting on the machine shop for the head right now. When I took the valve cover off I noticed almost half of the push rods were not quite as straight as they should be, I have twelve new ones to put in.

What color should the intake be, is it same as the engine? And then is the exhaust manifold just black?

Also the valve cover was black, should it be engine color. I know these are my choice but was just curious how it looked out of the factory.

I think I posted the pics right, let me know if not.

Thanks

Picture posts turned out great. Kept looking, something was wrong, I figured it out. There aren't 50 holes in your firewall! Looking good Birge!

Yeah, you better fix that firewall Birge, you don't want to get caught without a "holy firewall".

What Holes are you guys talking About? There are a few I guess I thought most of them were stock, I am gonna get some Grommets for Most of them. Also thought for the inside of the truck I might buy the inside cover.

Thanks
Birge

Just messin' with you Birge, I've always wondered why so many holes were put in the firewall, there's just only so many options to have mounted to it :confused_smile:
