Finally, I waited 2+ years to see my car, it is finally painted. There are still a few imperfections that need to be rubbed out, the car needs a good wetsand (wasn't done yet) and a buff, which is why you see so much of the orange peel effect. It's painted in Midnight Blue Pearl from Honda/Acura. I still have a way to go with finishing it, If only I had the time and money..

What engine?

 

cool. can't wait to see it finished.

 

nice.

 

MIDNIGHT BLUE PEARL!!! thats a sick color, my TL is monteray but they are almost the same

 

I got the car with a 302 motor from a '70 car. My car should have came with a 289 from the factory. 289/302 is the same block with small differences in the internals.
I did the engine work so long ago, I forgot a lot of the things I did to it, but I did put a Flexalite fan (but will be changing to electric fan soon) put an edelbrock performer manifold with a Holley 4100 series carb, crane cam, upgraded water pump..Also going to be changing the heads, not sure which ones yet, an MSD ignition system, etc.... I have hedman shorty headers to compliment the Flowmaster delta flow 55 series.. I really have to look up all the shit I bought for the car, it was so long ago...Here are an older post about the car, it gives some more info...

Get AFR heads for the 302. Also, consider 1.7 roller rockers.
