    When I said I needed the air intake I meant the entire air cleaner assembly. The lid, snorkle and bottom. I will find one.
    I am keeping the original 2 barrel intake and carb.

    Charleton Heston movies used to have Musical Intermissions, and you give us great Mechanical Intermissions. Can't wait for the next part. Very nice. Stock colors too, of course. :)

    Looking real good. :bowdown: Makes me want to yank the motor in mine for detailing of it and the entire compartment.

    When are you painting the block, chain cover, water pump, etc? I'm reasonably sure they were painted as a unit.

    Any new body pix? Door jambs are nice, but I want to see some panels properly adorned.

    Good point. We will be painting the entire engine once its assembled. I think the block was black in 66 and earlier. Blocks in 67 were all ford blue. The timing cover has already been painted. I wanted the intake and valve covers painted first so I could make them look nice. I have been told that certain bolts were not painted..it either the intake bolts or the valve cover bolts. I should have some pics of the panels soon.

    It looks like you went with a double roller timing chain. Good choice for longevity. Ford chains seemed to get loose after 80,000 miles or so on the big V8s. I think they are called FE engines, right?

    Yes there are a few upgrades on the motor for longevity. This engine is a FE. The 352, and 390 are the same block with different strokes. It is the heaviest motor I have ever worked on.
