    more of a new Ford blue fan myself. The dark just isn't my favorite color. Proper color for our cars was probably grey, which I think is a horribly boring color.

      I like the blue. That's THE ONLY good Ford blue. The rest are absolutely ugly.

      Good work champ, maybe this will be able to end with burnouts.

      That is how you're supposed to jack it.

        Put engine clear coat on it, make that shit as thick as you can, so you can just hose it off and it protects the blue.

                    Found a new program to edit videos on...so more video! I messed up though and some of it is out of order. Keeps it interesting...

                    Just a video of my dad and I lifting the engine and installing it onto the stand. Then me masking it for the paint you see it already received.

                      Pulled the HO cam from the Late Model Block and installed the trickflow stage 1 stick. Slipped on the ford racing timing set and had pretty much ZERO camshaft end play. Spent this afternoon sanding down the thrust plate to achieve the proper end play.



                      The new and HO



                      The thrustplate in work:



                      And the results:

                        We've got the same cam.

                        We're like brothers.

                        Long lost brothers.
