I really need to do something about those valve covers. They look horrible. They have some rust bubbles on them too. I need to sand them down and blast them. Thinking matt black.

can see the old motor hanging out in the background. Unloved but not alone. It still has its T56 buddy, but the T56 is jumping ship tomorrow.

The day is coming. Soon it will breath again.

 

I'm about 2hrs south of Chi town.
Just bring me the motor....the least I can do is ease you the grief of mulling over the covers...Lol!!!

Are you thinking something like fab'd aluminum tall style?

 

No, probably more like taking the rust down and repainting with a matt black finish.

 

Ahhh...
Gotcha!!
Looking forward to the vid // sound clip when you're done!...

 

Plans with old motor? Issues? Price?

 

Old Motor is free.

But warning.

Its got a lower end knock. It will need a rebuild. No idea if anything else is wrong with it.

 

Sent ya a pm

 

Nice LT.

 

It is sad. Engine is in the car, but I've run into a money situation and can't afford to drive out to my Dads to work on the car.

I need to get the trans in the car.

As it last sits. I want to paint the bay, really need to do that. its so ugly. Old intake is on the car currently to keep crap out of the galley. I have paper towels stuffed down the intake ports too.

 

I am in the same boat you are but I have painted my engine bay.

 

Where I am on my '88

 

Was looking good Bill.

I am frikkin so jealous of you folks getting time to work on your cars.

 

I have lots of time, thats why it took 3 months to get this far.

 

I am on month 4 myself. I just see it as I am taking my time to do it right, even if is 45 mins here and there.
