new engine pics

[StudNuts]

I got the engine back from the machine shop. I took it to THoff's. He did a fantastic job in a very short period of time. All the other race shops wanted at least 2 weeks to do the work, he did it in about 6 days. Im very happy with his work.

Now, I just got to finish getting together and in the buggy.

.40 over and decked to 0 clearence

I shoulda painted the valley but oh well:

Its very blue, and gotta love the new oil pan:

I thought blue was good. 304 only? What's the color?

nah its a 360 stroked out. The color is mustang blue, the machinist said if I used a color he had in stock he wouldnt charge me to paint it, so it was either ford blue or chevy orange....so blue it was.

I have no idea how to even get ahold of amc's color. What color is that? Isnt amc's some kind of teal?

 

[upnover]

It's a light blue, I couldn't find it either so I got close with a Chysler blue.

 

[amcjeepman]

Shame, Shame . Running the incorrect color is a 25HP penalty. LOL
eastwood and American Performance both carry "AMC blue"

 

[Yay!Gurrr]

kinda like tracking down pontiac blue, defintly an odd color but cool when you see it
