Project 12mm in full swing
« on: February 27, 2011, 06:16:44 am »
I will be documenting over the next few weeks my removal of the 11mm block posting pics of where it failed and the new motor getting mated to the trans, still trying to decide what color to go with for the block so shoot me some suggestions, pics of the current progress will be posted later today....

good luck, and go with a lighter colour so you can spot oil leaks quicker.

I would go with Cadillac Gold for your block and Ford Red for the trans. Maybe Alpine Green for the bolt on stuff like IP and IP lines. Probably what I will do next time.

x 4 on the rounds looking awesome.
