  1. Well, I'm going to assemble whatever I have and put it in the engine shop dio.
  2. OK thanks guys.
  3. I have this somewhat incomplete engine in my stash. It was listed as "Ford 351 Race". The valve covers have what appears to be Motorcraft over the Ford oval. The numbers on the chrome sprue are 029-4222, they won't come up on Google.Can someone help me ID it? Much appreciated.

  5. It looked like this:
  6. Enamel over lacquer is OK. The opposite would wrinkle the enamel.

  15. Yeah, I figure somewhere at 50K each. What do you think?
  16. Here are the three 427's on display. I changed the location of the platform for ease of photography. It was hard to get good shots in the corner.
  17. Here they are on display in the dio.
  18. Couldn't tell you. those engines were in a junkpile I bought on eBay.
  19. I am building a trio of cammers for my dio. What is the lion/leopard/panther logo on the bottom ones?
