Nah I'm only kidding. It's April 1st, Happy April Fools Day guys! It was a joke. Don't feel bad and don't be mad at me, some guy pulled that today with his restoration project on FCBO and I fell for it too. I do have an update for you guys though, the engine bay is being primered tonight. Pictures to soon come

"Update"- Hedman headers came today April 3rd 2020, along with a windage tray and a few other parts from Jegs. Unfortunately we decided not to go with TTI's as originally planned, as it is not in the budget right now. More photos to come later on, stay tuned......

The new windage tray. It is set on the engine for now, not bolted to it yet.
 
Update- Today April 4th, 2020. Engine parts were painted today and the old oil pan was also fixed and sanded.

This is actually 318 small block engine red paint. This is not the actual paint that will be used on the rest of the 383, just the "base coat" to prevent it from rusting.

This above is already blasted and painted

Update- Today April 5th, 2020. All 6 of the new freeze plugs were put in the engine, and the horns were sandblasted and painted. I also took another picture of the new windage tray too, (see third picture below). Come to find out when we pulled the oil pan off the engine it did not have one.
