1971 Wagon - Engine Prep

Although it is a 502 crate motor their is much detail to do. The customer likes the valve covers but not the finish so we stripped the paint off of them to start the process.

Same goes for the block, factory paint is usually rattle canned and will flake off once the engine heat gets to it. We have developed a process which enables Max longevity because of the ultimate adhesion along with primers and clears that with stand high heat on the cast iron and aluminium engine parts.

Strip it to the bare bone.

Wire wheeled to perfection.

Zinc Chromate is the best.

Bare blasted aluminum.

Details to the alternator.

New hi torque starter gets the treatment also.

Distributor curve modified then detailed.

A/C system Satin finish also.

The block was painted jet black in hi heat.

Aluminum heads cleared with hi heat.

Sanded for a satin finish then cleared.

Masked off ready for black in the inserts only.
