She is ready to go.....

[Dadandson]

After three months of "a little here and a little there" she is all buttoned up and almost ready to go. I still need to send the Dizzy out for rebuild, make alloy pulleys for the water pump and alternator and a few minor others. Everything in this motor is brand new from Winner's circle. Wish me luck!

Here is another pic.

Looks lovely, lots of attention to detail.

Great job...looks very sharp.

Looks nice, but I must ask: Why did you not paint the top of the head and around the manifold gasket?

 

[Dadandson]

The top of the head and block have been surfaced ground and, quite frankly, I never thought about painting the side of the head.

I think it looks correct unpainted! Better gasket surface for sure!!

 

[Trevor Jessie]

I put a masking plate (patterned on the gasket) over the ports before spraying the head.

And the debate rages on......

Its a beautiful motor. Nice work. I am a few weeks behind you, and trying to sort out the color choice. Obviously the original green would look good, but also have considered a dark grey, black, bright red or dark red. Is your water pump just polished?

 

[Dadandson]

Factory finish. I am making polished aluminum pulleys for the pump and the alternator. BTW, I made the roller rocker arms as well.

Looks great! Advanced distributors for the rebuild, Jeff is just an awesome guy to work with!

Good luck with your own made rockers. I remember seeing the post when you 1st built them & how. They look fantastic.
Have you thought about a window in the rocker cover?
