PINK BLOCK?

This is what happens when some of you let your wives pic engine colors, and it wasn't me. I think " I call him George "

Thanks Dee.

Since the cats out the bag...

Im in the process of freshening up the 521. Everything is staying pretty much the same with the exception of a new mechanical flat tappet cam, msd mechanical advance distributor and wife approved paint.


Along with a "positive" pregnancy test (expecting our first kid in January), Lauren had my 4150 TFS intake powder coated in cast silver metallic flake for Fathers Day.

No wonder that piston was giving you a fit it knew you was going to paint his house in pink

You texted me that pic while I was at The Bash and you expected me to keep it secret???? Not a chance in Hell!!!!!

Its just paint.


Hopefully it will be covered in mud this fall.

digging the intake ........ humm but the block ...just brings back memories of a purplish block

Yup.

I hate to say it but the color is actually starting to grow on me. I really dont think it looks that bad and its certainly unique which I like. The last time this engine was dark green.





Whats a good way to clean aluminum heads without glass beading them? I heard someone say a quick dip in 5:1 water/muratic acid and then over to water/baking soda to neutralize the acid but Im rather skeptical. Anything else work?

Block doesn't care what color it is

Try some of the acid type wheel cleaner for non-coated cast wheels. That may be about the same as the mixture you're talking about. It works pretty good on intakes. Spray it on, brush it clean, rinse off.

would not use muratic acid it is to agressive. The mag wheel cleaner you can buy is a hydrofloric acid and can be rinsed off with water(same thing a a/c coil cleaner but not as concentrated), it seems to work very well on aluminum wheels, toll boxes and intakes when i have used it but wear a resperator or mask of some sort and rubber gloves when using!!!!!!!

thanks guys

I got some really pretty valve covers from Ford Racing with pink flamingos on them. Probably go really good with that block
