    Hey, I just finished putting together the 351 W for the 69 Mach I I'm restoring. This was after blasting & painting all the parts before putting the engine together. Rebuild is mostly stock, .030" over bore, app 9.3 compression ratio, 3 angle valve job, small cam (.472" intake life, 214 duration @ .050" & .496" exhaust, 224 duration @ .050). Used PPG DAP paint, 1 stage automotive enamal sprayed with a HVLP gun. Engine compartment is 95% done, need to complete a few minor things before dropping the engine in, hoping to drop in next week. Still got a few small things to do to complete the engine. Here is a pic:

    Lots of little BS things to do to get it this far, but it is comming together.

    Nice job.

    What about a nice coat of black paint and some timing tape for the balancer?

    Not Concourse, close, just very stock appearing.
    Yea Yea, the balencer is just sitting on there for when I installed the timing cover for centering purpose. Gonna paint it black when I paint some other pieces. Just didn't feel like removing it for the pics. :)
