Painting Engine, Tranny and Tcase

[66horse]

Anybody got anypics of how they have painted them? Everything is out of the bronco and its all brown and nasty looking. Thought it might be a good time to clean it up a little. I was thinking of all black for everything but then decided it would be cooler to do something that stands out a little.<br><br>Would love to hear suggestions on color, type o paint, etc...

I did our 66 engine compatrment with universal gray engine paint. Looks nice with blue 351w w/ black motorsport valve covers that match your air cleaner. The gray helps reflect light when working in there instead of black.

a black engine block is supposed to run cooler? ?:?(this is what my last engine builder told me. don`t know whether it to be true or not)

Check out the POR-15 web site. They have some really nice engine paint products and colors.

I am doing mine with the new POR15 Corporate Blue. It is a really cool color but it is taking me a long time to do since it is 3 coats( 1 POR15 and 2 blue) I don't have pics yet but I will post them when I get them. I need a digital camera. Problem is that a new camera is the price of a good upgrade on the ole rig. Just like the Bronco I can't settle for anything cheap. Soon.

I just finished rebuilding my 302and sandblasted and painted everything, the block, oil pan, valve covers and water pump are ford blue, the intake manifold and timing cover and coil are ford grey, exhaust manifolds and dipstick tube are flat black high temp, and the coil bracket, oil filler cap, and distick handle are red, if i took pics, (i don't remember, i wanted to but maybe didnt) i will post them for you.

Thanks, I sure had fun doing that project. On to the next one!<br><br>Jim

ya Jim that looks sweet!<br><br>Still trying to decide on colors. I dig ford blue but just thinking of doing something a little different. White seemd kinda cool because it would easy to find links, but then again probably always look dirty. I dont know, the search goes on. I like LUvmybroncos yellow engine. (I think it is his) Gonna paint the bronco orange so maybe Ill go that way.<br><br>Anyway thanks guys and if anybody else has pictures, please post em.!
