[Canuck]

The block is a nos short block I acquired and I described in an earlier post that I had my machine shop go through it and did a real blueprint and balance.

Trial fit of NOS aluminum intake. It had rough broach marks on one side so I had it machined. 10 thousand for a better fit.


I wanted to preserve the assembly line markings so on the left side I sprayed in Matt clear before applying Olds Blue.



I find the best way to get a nice coat of Olds blue is to apply GM corporate blue as its non metallic. After that usually two coats of Olds blue does the job. I preserves some of the brown paint daubs that were inspection marks.




The engine assembly has the rolling NOS parts.
