Thanks guys! I did not do a rebuild, just a clean up. There is probably 7 or 8 hrs in it. I got lucky and found a set of tin on ebay that was already powdercoated. It included a lot of tin I didn't have for the seal between the top and bottom (not on the motor yet). That tin was $220 shipped add another ten for the powder coat on the oil filter. I had the exaust worked over ($40) and bought some high temp paint for it from POR-15 ($32). The rear support bar and some of the brackets are also done in POR-15. Ad in $20 for sandblasting and another $20 for a coil and there you have it.

Found a cleaner made by Castrol that took the grime right of. Just sprits it on, wait a munite or two (literally) and use a spritser bottle with water and the grime comes right off. I found the spritser bottle made th job much easier as it was quite controlable.

Hey Ben,

Looks very nice! That motor is going to look good in your car.
Did you get the frame problem fixed?

Gabe

Sure did. I will take some pics to post. The frame set up worked out nicely. Anyone interested in an article?
