It is spray on Bed liner from a can. It is Duplicolor brand from autozone, it is $8 a can. It is very durable and if it does get scratched or something, just have to sand it down and respray and looks brand new. Has a nice surface to it. Sticks to everything really well. People who have seen it really like it.

Very nice! Don't suppose you remember what size those bolts are you secured the engine to the stand with? I can't seem to get the right ones for mine =/

My new goal is to rebuild mine as nicely as yours.

Amazing attention to detail. Looks great!

Why do you guys pull off the comp housing before installing the motor? Ivan did the same thing...

I took mine off so it did not touch the fender and so it makes it easier to move the engine around. Also, so it did not get scratched up.

They are the same bolts that hold the transmission to the block

Thanks. The total engine build was about $3.5K. I got a awesome deal on the engine build. $640 got me 20 over, Full balance on all rotating parts, Micro polish the crank, Low end was assembled and everything mic'd, Port job and gasket matched on head, All new valves seals and exhaust valve guides replaced, All valves shimmed for cams. I think I got a steal of a deal. Just wish I could start her up and break her in

Let us know when it's running! I can't wait to see a vid!

wow! that is pure beauty. I hope when i do my KA-T build, it will look the same way, you did an excellent job man.

Adding my nickle. Excellent job! And that is a great price for the work you had done on the block. My builde wants 2k to do basically the same, not including parts. Two questions, what MAF are you using and are those twin Perma-Cool fans? Boost that baby!

[KATwo40]

Looks pretty sweet, man.

I think your brake master cylinder is definitely safe from alien mind reading probes!

Thanks I am using the Z32 (N62) MAF, Forgot what brand the fans are. I bought them from Heavy Throttle about 4 years. Still waiting on the Tune to come in. Getting ahold of Scott is hard to do these days.
