    Final pics of Engine

    I'm almost done with it. Just need to install my Cobra Manifolds and underdrive pulleys, but I am happy with the look of the engine. Dealer did new timing cover on Monday, yesterday had the Stallion TC put in and today I did the PHP spacer, coil covers and intake shield.

    Also gotta thank DENNIS REINHART - Marauder runs like a bat-outa-heII.

    Great job! Those coil covers really make the engine look sharp!

    Hours into looks?

    Hmmmm?

    2 hours to do hoses. 1 hour to do Ford Racing Decals. 2 hours to paint and install coil Covers. 1 hour to install JLT plus chrome shield. 2 hours to install PHP spacer.

    Not long at all, really.

    What paint did you use for the Coil Covers ?
    I have a set coming from Ray , and I want to paint the lettering in them also.

    What fasteners did you use for the Coil Covers ?
    And where can I get the braided hose covers from ?
    And where can I get the For Racing Decals from ?
    And where... ? I know, I know, search engine...

    Let me stop while I still have some money...

    I guess imitation is the best for of flattery?

    Bought high heat engine paint (from spray can) - sprayed it into cup. Got small detail brushes and brushed in 5 coats. Then wiped away slop with paint thinner.
