My heads should be here tomorrow.
My spare bed room is starting to look like a speed shop. I have the cam, intake, LTs and ORY in there,gaskets, band clamps etc. and soon the heads.
I like to look at it all everyday, when I wake up so..... I keep them in the house. LOL!
Man I cant wait to get this all together and installed.

i have a red intake now, and i assume that the old paint needs cleaned off or atleast it needs cleaned before painted. Whats the best thing to to use to prep it for paint, i am goin to do white, should i use a wire brush on a drill?
also what holes do i have to cover or fill so they dont get any paint in them

I used aircraft paint stripper and a brass brush to get off the old paint. Came off real easy. Then cleaned all the greese and burnt oil off with brake cleaner followed by a good was with dish soap. I just taped off the holes with masking tape and cut off the excess tape with a razor. B4 it was all the way dry I took a razor and scraped the paint off the top fins wich made sanding them 10x easier.
I just used duplicolor ceramic hightemp engine paint.
