Got the new oil pickup installed, and gave a spare oil pan I had a few love taps with the 'ol ball peen hammer to knock it back into shape, prepped and painted it, then installed it.
Did a lot of cleaning today of a lot of the old parts. Cleaned the accessory brackets, oil cooler, oil filter housing, and timing chain covers (not pictured). Then gave all those parts a fresh coat of paint with some high temp engine enamel. I also took a wire brush wheel in my electric drill and cleaned all the bolts that will be seen for all those parts. No sense in taking all this time to make everything look nice and have the bolts look like crap.
This is just a spare head I threw on for mock up. I am still waiting on a call from the machine shop.
