Getting the engine reading to install,, pretty much a refresh, not quite a rebuild. I am going to replace as much as I can such as water pump and gaskets and of course a coat of paint. I also have a very cool factory chrome valve cover. Been looking at engine colors and I really like duplicolor engine paints. I am about 90% settled on Ford red after getting talked out of grabber green by my wife. I want to do something a little different than the traditional Datsun blue that it came with. The red with some chrome parts would look cool I think. So I got the intake/exhaust and the carbs off and a bunch of other stuff, next it’s going to be a degrease and a bath then some sanding so I can get some primer/paint on the block, the head will stay aluminum. Here is before and after of this weekends work so far and then I’ll post a bunch of reference shots to help me with reassembly.
