Learned a lot on my original build so here goes my next one,
66 virgin block with the original pistons, rod and main bearings (fomoco markings) and original crank. I'll update this thread as the build progresses but heres what I did this weekend.
The block was "0" decked, (shaved .040 off the block) and It was bored .040. We are figuring its going to be around 11:1-11.25.1 compression. Not a pump gas motor by any means.
It was hot tanked last summer so I did some final prep, masked it off and sprayed on 2 coats of Deltron DP 40 epoxy primer.
I let it dry over night and sprayed on 2 coats of Deltron DCC single stage paint. I called the PPG color library and got a prophet formula for Ford engine blue.
Next weekend I am planning on installing the crank and main bearings.
Later,
Doug
