427 Engine : : :

Time for some CC work to make sure of final compression. Which was right at 10.41

Also wanted to check cyl head to cylinder. And it did make a difference which side they were on for best fit. So now I have a left and right head.

Next was a tinted primer sealer.

Then threw on a guide coat, sanded until the fingerprints were gone (haha) then reprimed and sanded again. Glutton for punishment I guess but I wanted it it to look nice. Always dreamed of having a veh with paint as nice on bottom as top side. It will soon be rock chipped because its a driver . .At least it started out nice!
