I spent the past couple of days getting things ready for the engine transplant in my '48. This is what I hauled out of it...

The only billet on the engine is the Lokar dipstick ends. They will probably be painted flat black. LOL
Handling billet makes me break out in hives. :-p

Believe it or not, I really like the look of chrome. I think I'll have just enough on the engine to make it look good. The block, heads, and water pump are painted cast iron, which really stands out against the chrome. I still have to figure out what, if anything, I'll do with the power steering pump.
More pics to follow as I progress.

OH, SURE!! This is just as bad as the TV commercials for womens' makeup. The before picture shows a woman as if she just got out of bed after a two day drunk. Then, the picture after she uses a certain lipstick, looks like she just stepped out of Mary Kay cosmetics lab, her hair done and wearing a knockout dress. Gee, Al, first pic doesn't have the water pump or nuthin'. LOL.

The second one does look great though!
