Winter off season project engine compartment “clean up” and engine repaint.

[Plyrr471]

After 2 solid days work this is how far I’ve got:

Plan is to degrease and repaint the block, heads, water pump, etc. engine looks like crap. Resto done by me almost 25 yrs ago.

I’ll be asking you guys plenty questions regarding component refinish colors over the next few weeks. Water pump coming out next as well as starter and headers.

Crap prep work I’d say.

What are we working on? I like the color, any pics of the car.

Can't say I've ever seen the temp sensor in the water pump housing there before.

Awesome looking car!! I love the color looks very close to color of my first car, which was a 68 road runner.
