Had to remove all the paint and primer all the way back to the gel coat because of the micro blisters.Managed to prime it on Friday.

Looks awesome, how much does that cost to paint something like that?

Cheers

Nice work!
It's a shame to see these motors blinged up so much compared to their origins though. Many owner/builders seem intent on turning them into tarts boudoirs with leather & chrome everywhere...
(Are you sure that's a Ford 6.2? It's hard to tell from the pic but the two middle exhaust headers look suspiciously close for a SBF?)
Cheers
Iain

Fair enough.
I can see its not a Windsor SBF as the dizzy's at the back. The 351 Cleveland featured that, but it looks like the middle two cylinders are sitting together like the small block Chevy, that's all.
Cheers

As good as some of the kits look I have never driven one that is nice/smooth/exciting to drive, and Ive driven a few.

Good paint job from the pics though.

It must be a sbc as a ford 289 or 302 the dizzy would be at the front.
