unless its orange

i think you painted your crank...

but otherwise it looks good.

I had the engine turned over while painting it and had the pan just sitting on it to cover the internals. Cylinders were taped off and timing cover was on. I have to go through with laquer thinner and clean up a few areas.

Yeah you painted the snout of the crank. I would have taken a little more time to mask it. Paint going into the timing cover only to chip off in your oil later. And on the front seal don't know how good that is. It looks good though nice job.

looks nice.....i was going to paint my engine orange originally but everyone else seems to be orange, so i went with house paint blue

Chevrolet actually used blue in the late 70's, early 80's so we'll let you live!

Nice.But I want to know What year TA is under the cover and is it for sale?

1978 403 Olds. Calif car, 60k miles. Needs TLC. $2800. Please come get it. I can send you more pics if interested. Have no more time nor money to fix it up. Going away to school and need my IROC to be done for this summer. Please buy it.

Post up some pics & more detail on the 78. I work with a couple of guys that are always looking for a new toy.

Well. I did not intend to sell the T/A in this thread, but apparently, that is what has happened

no prob It will be in good hands

Hope ya found your way out to 41 in good time..

Did you have a fuel pressure regulator on your car? I need one, I still have the EFI fuel pump and need a regulator to tone the pressure down.
