DEF do the water pump blue.. and i wud even do the bolts blue to contrast off the chrome parts.. JMO.. LOOKS GREAT THO ...

Imma try it blue and see wassup. If I dont like it I can clean it offand leave it raw with clear. Imma eventually get the right nose cover and you wont see the bolts. The ones holding the waterpump will be some ARP's in SS..

Oh yes!! If you can swing by please bring it bruh. I was gonna just rent one on saturday along with the AC puller setup. After I watched this I felt a lil more comfy with doin it..

man the motor is looking great elco warren ... at first i thought that with so much chrome it would be to flashy but man does it actually look real mean ... and so clean you could eat off of it lol ... on suggestion you could do is pinstripe the ballmilled lines on the valvle covers the same blue as the block ... i think it would give it a nice subtle touch... great job!!


Yessir!! The ball milled areas on my valve covers, wire loom holders, pcv, breather and battery covers will get the blue pin striping after I get em all chromed. They are polished. I'll have to let a pro do that one tho. LOL! Ol Elco's hands just aint as steady as they used to be :rofl:

Thanks for checkin back fellas! I know all these mods arent everyones style. But i really appreciate the feedback and suggestions Im getting from everyone. Thanks :!: Just woke up and ready to start on my "Tuesday Worklist" 😀

Ques up "All hail the Chief" :mrgreen: Thanks bruh! Its cool for what it is. I think Im done after this next lil set of pics Im about to drop..LOL! Now this may not be for everybody..I cleaned and sprayed the wire looms a semi gloss high temp black. The faded and cracked looms were killing me. So I replaced a couple and clean/sprayed the rest.

My goal is to hide all the wires and looms as much as possible. So this probably wasnt even needed but oh well.

Dayside shots of the motor. I'll start the blue detailing tomorrow...
