In order to do a nice job on making the motor to look like new money the motor would need to be pulled and semi took apart ..

You must be registered for see images attach

But I'm not that motivative .. (Somewhat of a lazy SOB)
It runs the best as is, all that work just to pretty it up is more than I want to do..
Cleaning it with some elbow grease and a rattle can is as far as I'm going, at least for now ..

Could pull the intake and glass bead blast it, but I decided to screw it !!

Perhaps in the future I'll get around to doing it right ??

On the radiator ...
Been waiting for a local radiator shop to sell me the lower hose outlet ...
Been close to two weeks waiting for his order to come in .. !
Now I'm not in a big hurry, but does feel like I'm stuck in a eddy here, getting nowhere fast type deal ...

Called "Griffin Radiators" ... They said it would be shipped out tomorrow ...

Once again hunting down parts has been most difficult ..
Repainting the valve covers, needed to remove the three rubber grommets that's been there since the 70's ..

Valve covers came from a Chevy van, has the extended oil fill tube which makes it easy to pour oil into the lifted 4X4 truck without climbing on it ..

Packed the valve covers with me to 5 parts stores to show them what was needed .. After bout 20 minutes at each store came back to the shop without the new grommets ..

Jumped on Google and got them coming ..
