was planning on doing the delete, just didn't have time to find the right belt size. anyone got a gates belt part number for it?

 

my work in progress

 

My latest round of updates.

Filled in all the holes from the wire tuck.
Filled in the battery covers.
Replaced all bolts with ARP 12-point (some not in picture but on now)
Replaced lower coolant hose with Samco blue one.

 

that's fu(kin dope!

 

Fresh 2 death! Great job!

 

Damn that looks sick!! Are the blue parts powdercoated??

 

Tim, you should powdercoat your brake calipers blue to match the bay.

 

Your bay has come a very long way Tim. Lookin' clean my friend!

 

Tim... that is one SEXY lookin' Bitch!!!!

 

Thank you everyone for the kind comments.

Marcus, thanks for the great pic.

I think I'm going to go away from the blue. I don't even like blue but back when I first built the motor I told my buddy to paint the timing cover and valve covers blue so they went with the silicone couplers.

Not sure what to go with, might just do some sort of silver, black and polished setup. It will be a while anyaway. Car is on the back burner for a while now.

 

Looks great Tim I like the blue and black it goes good together,if I were to do it over I don't think i would go all polished it is too common now.

 

looks great Tim!!!

PLEEEEZZZZZ Don't do silver & black - Raider hater here

 

Looks good, Ttrank. Quick question about polishing the timing chain cover tho, is it possible to just remove the cover without having to remove the oil pan as well?

 

No two bolts to get the T cover off are inside the engine, so you must drop the lower pan to get at them.

 

I was afraid of that. Looks like we gotta plan to do more work on one of my buddy's car. Thanks for the info.
