1930 Chevy sedan build thread...trying for 3K.

Got a few hours on the chubby in the last few days.

First couple pics are of that clapped out 350 I had. I kept hosing the block and head down with laquer thinner and scrubbing it with a wire brush. After I figured it was clean enough I sprayed it with some low-gloss engine brite foo-foo can paint. I just ran the overspray onto the valve covers, intake mainfold and timing cover since they were going to be coming off anyway.

The last 3 are after about 7 hours of work today. I was able to sneak out of work at noon and with a little help of a friend of mine for couple hours got a lot done. Just for fun I unbolted some parts off the motor and temporarily installed a couple parts just for the bling factor. The chrome kit is an ebay ho-chi-mien $60 special I friend of mine had some used performer manifolds laying around, I cleaned one of them up with the blaster and was able to get a used Edlebrock 600cfm carb for a $100 bucks. I've got a cam and lifter set coming, should be here tomorrow. Hoping to get that installed this weekend.
