    Made a little progress today. Should have the motor pulled tomorrow and dropped off to Billy on Monday. Trying my best to make that happen. I’m heading to India Monday afternoon for work and will be gone for a couple of weeks.

    I was able to get everything disconnected today minus the transmission and wiring to the starter.

    Got the engine out and over to Billy's shop last night.

    I get back in town in a couple of weeks. Going to clean up the engine compartment and fix a few things like the plate behind the master cylinder and notch the cross member to get more clearance for the headers. Also, just an overall refresh with paint and paint under the hood while it's off.

    Planning to paint the engine black, keep the intake bare aluminum and polish the rocker covers. What do you guys think? The blue:green they used in Chrysler Marine hemi’s is cool too

    Sounds like a good plan to me!
