Ok, sent out the upper and lower to be powdercoated. Turned out pretty good. Took the sander to the wording of the upper and this is my result.

Man, that looks great.

I wish i was around to help you out. I could use the experience. I got the strangest feeling that my internals are not going to hold up this summer.

Clutch looks like shizit/flywheel not to bad. Took the heads off and it looks pretty good in the cylinders. The crosshatching is still quite visible. Supposedly there is only 50k miles on the GT40 crate motor. I'll be putting up pics tomorrow and hope to start cleaning the engine bay soon.

Gonna ask Santa for a Canton Windage Tray for Xmas.

Ok, she's out and let the fun begin. Oiled some rags down and stuffed them in the bores. Only thing I've accomplished so far is scraping gasket material off one side. Pics from when she came out of the car.
