Heres the progress on my 3.4l that a few of you asked about.

Its back together, painted, with a new double roller chain. Now that its installed, I see how much play their really was in the stock chain. Much thanks to everone who pushed me to get a new chain.

Need color opion. This is going in a show quility ride. I was orginally going to have oil pan chromed. Cant afford that. Then looked into powder coating. Thats almost as much as chroming. So since the oil pan is all thats keeping me from droping it in and starting the wiring. What color should the pan be to.....

match blue
it has silver frame, dont want pan to blend with it.
Not show dirt.


Please give me some color thoughts.

 

oops, forgot to attach pics

 

Id leave the pan alone if your ganna be driving this car on the street alot , it will be getting all kinds of crud on it .Plus you really can't see it . The engine LOOKS AWESOME though ! Im REALLY diggin the blue !!!!!

 

is that blue that 'anodize paint' or some other type of paint or what. It looks good!

 

Correct 91


Its a show ride, will be drove rarely. I dont want it black, I've been trying to "brighten" the bay. Its been one of the downfalls.

 

that looks really nice, good work

 

Paint to match the block.
Hi Wayne!
How much was they chargin for the chromed Pan?

I have to do valve covers

 

Quotes between 100-250 pan only. I have other parts I would like but were not quoted.

Powder coat was 55 plus shipping. So that would come out to about 65-70.

This is the only thing keeping me from pulling old engine, and dropping new one in and start the long pain staking wireing nightmear.


Thanks for the complements on how it looks.

 

Regular chroming or show chrome.
Offering them a clean pan or after they clean oil pan? (You prep or they prep)
There are differences.
Havenn't located mounts yet.
Will after this weekend.
